The Meaning of the Tenth-Tax Items in Zakah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said in one of the chapters of zakah: As for the tenth-tax items, the completion of the lunar year is not a condition for the obligation of zakah on them.
The Shaykh:
That is enough.
The questioner:
Therefore, the completion of the lunar year is not required for the obligation of zakah on them; rather, the ripening of the crop is sufficient. The question is: What is the meaning of his statement "the tenth-tax items"?
The Shaykh:
The tenth-tax items on which a tenth is obligatory are crops, grains, and dates. These are the items on which a tenth, or half a tenth, is obligatory. If they are irrigated at a cost, then half a tenth is due on them. If they are irrigated without cost, by rain, by rivers, or without any expense, then a tenth is due on them. These are the tenth-tax items. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
