Zakah on the Trade in Honey
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We move on to a letter, and we conclude this session with it. It is addressed to the Honorable Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan. The questioner says: I have a mobile beehive that I move from one area to another, and I trade in honey. Is zakah due on it?
Answer:
If you obtain a value in currency and a lunar year passes over it, you must pay zakah on it, because this honey has become a commodity of trade. If the coins you have gathered reach the nisab, or if you add them to the coins you already have and a lunar year passes over them, then zakah becomes obligatory on them. May Allah grant you success.
