What is the ruling on the zakah of trade goods?

The Shaykh: I am listening.

The questioner: At Bayt Thamir, yes. Thamir. Yes, indeed. It is easy, if Allah wills, I will look for it and index it for you. Do you want a question? Okay, wait a moment. Wait. Thank you. Praise be to Allah, and may blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you, what do you say about the zakah of trade goods, trade goods, knowing that the wealth of people in this time is all, or most of it, trade goods? Ibn Ahmad. Our Shaykh, this is available. This is available and ready. The one that is with Walid, I left it with Abu Tariq. But I do not think the Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) is speaking in detail now, because we had more room with Walid al-Rashudi and Nasser al-'Umar. I do not know, may Allah. The camera is there to take it. May Allah, our Shaykh, if we did this like the ruling on the one who abandons prayer and the understanding of the situation. May Allah, our Shaykh, this is wonderful, this. They brought out a small tongue, what do you think of its name? Our Shaykh. Here, we will take it.

The Shaykh: May Allah, there is no objection in the beginning. The approach, meaning, this will come out wonderful, truly. And our Shaykh, the amount of speech in full grace, can this be added to this? Yes, indeed. May Allah, it is an honor in any case, a brief word I will say. I want to drink. Muhammad, my nephew. The zakah of trade can be made in two ways or two forms: absolute zakah, as the soul of the wealthy owner of the goods is generous with. There is no limited limit or prescribed percentage for it. Rather, it is to realize the principle of the saying of Allah the Exalted . So this is obligatory.
As for the other section, which is known among the jurists followed today, that it is assessed at the end of every year, Muhammad ibn Abi. Then two and a half percent is paid out, as if it were money. Let us go out to drink.
I believe this has no basis in the Sunnah, let alone the Book. What can be said to have a basis is the first type, absolute zakah. As for this detail, which is assessing the goods and paying out two and a half percent, this is an opinion and independent legal reasoning. In addition to this, that is, the lack of a binding text for the process of converting and assessing the goods to a monetary value. There is no text for this. It should now be qualified so that it is not understood in its absolute sense. There is no fixed text for it. Muhammad ibn Ahmad.
For example, in Sunan Abu Dawud, with a chain containing an unknown person, it is narrated that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, peace be upon you, that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) used to order the assessment of what is prepared for sale. There is an unknown man in this who does not constitute a proof. In addition to that, Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad with a chain whose men are trustworthy, and I do not say its chain is authentic, but it is much better than what Abu Dawud narrated in his Sunan, and it agrees with an authentic text from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). In something. Praise be to Allah, the food is ready. Please, go ahead.
This text, we conclude the word, that this text is that merchants came to 'Umar with horses from Damascus, and they asked him to take their zakah. He said that my two predecessors did not do it, and Abu al-Hasan 'Ali ibn Abi Talib was in the assembly, so he said, O Commander of the Faithful, take it from them as a charity from the charities. So he took it from them, and their hearts were pleased. I wish the wealthy were like this.

The presenter: I mean, this hadith qualifies the first statement, O Shaykh, meaning the evidence for the first statement.

The Shaykh: The evidence for the first statement, absolute zakah.

The presenter: And for the hadith, O Baqiyah.

The Shaykh: If Allah wills. Please, go ahead. Please, go ahead. My dubai is going.
