Zakah on sheep upon reaching the nisab before the hawl

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says in his other question: I bought goats, and the nisab was not complete. Before the end of the hawl, I bought sheep and the nisab was completed. Is there zakah on them?

Answer:
Yes, there is zakah on them from the beginning of their completion. The hawl starts from the completion of the nisab. If a year passes after the nisab is completed, he pays zakah on them. But this is on the condition that they graze on open pasture, such as grass and herbs, for most of the hawl. However, if he feeds them for most of the hawl or the entire hawl, there is no zakah on them, unless he is keeping them for trade. In that case, he pays zakah on them as trade goods, the zakah of trade goods. Yes.
