The questioner:
We continue, brothers, to present these questions on the program *Nur 'ala al-Darb* with our guest, Dr. Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan. A message arrived from Taiz in Yemen, sent by 'Abd al-Muhammad Qa'id. He says: To the lands of Islam and the landing place of the Muhammadan message, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, the program *Nur 'ala al-Darb*. I am sending this message containing some questions, among which he says: I have ten sheep, my brother has ten sheep, and my father has thirty sheep, and they are in my father's house, and we are under my father's care. Is it obligatory for us to pay the zakah, even though I am advanced in age?
The Shaykh:
There is a distinction regarding these sheep. If these sheep are for trade, seeking profit by selling them, then they are subject to the zakah of trade goods, by appraising them at the end of the lunar year, or
The questioner:
meaning according to the value of their wealth.
The Shaykh:
The entire species?
The questioner:
According to his share of ownership of these sheep.
The Shaykh:
As for if...
The questioner:
If they are being fed.
The Shaykh:
If they are fed for more than half the lunar year from the expenses of these owners, and there is no zakah on them as long as they are for breeding and keeping, and they are fed for more than half the lunar year, there is no zakah on them. That is, if they are not prepared for trade, not prepared for trade, and are fed for more than half the lunar year, there is no zakah on them. Yes, yes, if they are not prepared for trade and they graze on permissible pasture for more than half the lunar year, then there is zakah on them if they reach the nisab. Here they have reached the nisab, which is forty sheep, but they are mixed. Each individual does not owe zakah if he were alone, if he were alone, if he were alone. But by their gathering in the pasture, in the milking, and in the overnight stay, there is zakah on the mixed flock.
