Zakah on Bee Honey and Trade Goods
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I have been trading in bee honey for years, and it is my livelihood. Is zakah due on it? And what is meant by trade goods?
Answer:
Yes, if you buy and sell honey, it is among the trade goods. You pay zakah on the value you obtain from it. If a lunar year has passed and a lunar year has also passed on the capital with which you bought the honey, then you appraise the honey at its equivalent value and pay zakah by giving one-quarter of a tenth of its appraised value. Yes.
