Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: If a person feeds his sheep throughout the year, is there any zakah due on them? If he intends to sell them, to increase their value and sell them.
Answer:
If you fear regarding their value, because they are like trade goods. But if he intends to keep them for milk and offspring, there is no zakah on them as long as he feeds them for the entire lunar year or most of the lunar year. The zakah is only on the grazing sheep, which are those that graze in the open, for the lunar year or most of the lunar year. Yes.
