Zakah on Fattened Sheep
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another questioner says: I have a flock of sheep numbering about eighty heads, and I feed them and give them fodder. I sell, slaughter, and give away from this flock. Is there zakah on them?
Answer:
If you feed them for most of the year, or half the year, or most of the year, there is no zakah on them because they are not grazing sheep. However, if they graze on wild grass in the open for most of the year, then there is zakah on them. If you sell some of them, you pay zakah on their value. If you sell some of them before the completion of the lunar year, you pay zakah on the value of what you sold, because the value takes the place of the original asset when the lunar year has passed.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
