Question:
The last question is from the brother questioner Abu Muhammad. He says: A man says that he deals in various types of trade, such as clothing, vessels, and others. How does he calculate the zakah?
Answer:
The zakah is calculated based on its value. If you sold some of it after the lunar year (hawl) had passed, you pay zakah on the value. If you did not sell any of it and it is displayed for sale, you assess its value at the completion of the hawl, then you pay its zakah. Yes.
