The Zakah of Trade Goods and Their Hawl
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. Regarding trade goods, he says in his final questions: Is there zakah on them? What is the amount? And when does their hawl begin? There is zakah on trade goods, as it is stated in the hadith: “Pay zakah on what you keep for sale.” So there is zakah on them, because they are commercial assets, and zakah is obligatory on them. As for how to calculate the zakah, the criterion is the capital. If a hawl passes over the capital with which he purchased them, he appraises them and pays zakah on their value at that time. So the hawl is calculated based on the capital, not on the purchase and possession of the goods; rather, the hawl is based on what they were bought for. From the money, yes.
