The Ruling on the Zakah of Date Fruit
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, how do we pay the zakah on date fruit? Is it by estimation (kharas), and is it paid in money or in dates?
Answer:
If the dates are still on the palm trees, it is by estimation. If they have been harvested and stored, it is paid by measure: one-tenth for what is watered without expense, and half a tenth for what is watered with expense. This is if they have been harvested and gathered. However, if they are still on the palm trees, it is by estimation.
