Zakah on the sold date harvest: in dates or in money
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I am a farmer who sold this year's date harvest. How do I pay the zakah? Do I give dates or money?
Answer:
You have the choice. If you wish, you may pay the zakah in dates by buying dates equal to the amount of zakah you owe. They should not be of the worst quality; they should be of the same quality as what you sold, or better. Alternatively, you may pay in money, provided you sold the dates for money, by paying one-tenth of the money. Yes. So you have the choice between these two options. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
