The Ruling on the Zakah of Grape Fruits and Its Amount
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am asking about the ruling on the zakah of grape fruits. Regarding grapes, is the zakah due on the price at the time of sale, or is it due on the price? And is the zakah due when the fruits are sold, or when they are not sold? What is the exemption? And what is the amount of zakah if the grapes are watered by modern means, or if they are not? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Grapes are like dates; their nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) is the nisab of dates, which is five wasqs (sacks), equal to three hundred and sixty sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) by the Prophet's sa'. This is the nisab for grapes and dates: five wasqs, and one wasq is sixty sa' by the Prophet's sa'.
Grapes fall into two categories: grapes that are dried and stored. For these, the zakah is due on the raisins when dried: half of one-tenth if they are watered with effort (cost), and the full one-tenth if they are watered without effort, exactly like dates.
As for grapes that are not dried but are harvested and sold, or dates that are harvested and sold in the markets, the zakah becomes obligatory on their value. One pays out half of one-tenth of their value if they are watered with effort, or one-tenth of their value if they are watered without effort.
