Zakat on Honey and Olives

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the cultivation of olives, and I have bees that produce honey. Honorable Shaykh, what is the zakat on olives and honey?

Answer:
Yes, regarding the zakat on honey, it is mentioned in the hadith that it is
One-tenth of one-tenth of the honey in one-tenth of qurub, the plural of qurbah.العشر عشر من العسل في عشر قرب جمع قربة
a qurbah, meaning one vessel. So one pays one-tenth of the honey harvest. As for olives, if a harvest is obtained from them and you sell them, you pay zakat on their value. If you sell them, you pay zakat on their value, provided it reaches the nisab or you combine it with your other wealth. Yes.
