Question:
The second question: Regarding the zakah on livestock, is it permissible to pay it to a single person from among the eligible recipients?
Answer:
The zakah on livestock has factors, my brother, factors that determine how it is collected. So you hand the zakah over to the workers who come to you, if you are in the open countryside. But if you are raising livestock, the zakah is in its value, not in the animals themselves. You assess its value at what it is worth and pay the zakah on that. Yes.
