The ruling on the zakah of date palms irrigated by pipes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A man has date palms in his house that have reached the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah), and he irrigates them with pipes. Is their zakah the zakah of what is irrigated with effort, or the zakah of what is irrigated without effort? It is known that this water does not have a municipal meter, and he does not buy the water.
Answer:
If nothing is spent on this water, then the rate is ten percent. However, if he spends on it and pays a fee for the water, then the rate is half of ten percent. Yes.
