The Ruling on the Zakah of Livestock
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Abu Salih, asks: Honorable Shaykh, is there zakah on livestock? And what is the amount?
Answer:
Yes, there is zakah on livestock, provided that they are grazing, meaning they graze on permissible pasture for the entire lunar year or most of it. If he feeds them for the entire lunar year or most of it, there is no zakah on them because they are not grazing, unless he is keeping them for sale and trading in livestock. In that case, they are trade goods, and zakah is obligatory on their value, which is one-quarter of the tenth. Yes.
