Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This is a message received from one of the brothers. He says: A man owns three animals and intends to sell them in the future, but he has not offered them for sale yet. Are they considered trade goods, such that zakah becomes obligatory on them?
Answer:
Yes. If we see that they are for sale, whether immediately or in the future, they are considered trade goods. Whatever passes a year, he appraises them at their value and pays their zakah.
