The ruling on shared crops with the father if he does not pay their zakah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener M.M.A. sent a question, saying: We have a piece of agricultural land that I and my father work on. When the harvest is gathered, I ask my father to pay the zakah on the crops, but he neglects it. What is the ruling on my working with him on the land?
Answer:
If a person has crops that reach the nisab, meaning he has wheat, barley, corn, or other grains that are harvested and threshed, then he must pay zakah on them when they reach the nisab. If you have ordered your father to pay it, or if he has not paid it, you must go to the Shari'ah court and inform them of this matter, or go to the Commission for Promoting Virtue and Prohibiting Vice and inform them of it so that they can summon him, advise him, and discipline him.
