Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there zakah on growing crops, such as tomatoes, onions, and all vegetables?
Answer:
In reality, there is nothing due on them. It is due on grains, every grain, and dates, and what is attached to dates and grapes; zakah is due on raisins if they reach the nisab of five wasqs. As for fruits and their like, there is nothing due on them; watermelon, pomegranate, and their like have no zakah, unless they are sold for trade. Then the value is zakaed; he zakaes the money when it is gathered. Whenever a lunar year passes over it, he zakaes it, if he buys fruits and sells them for trade. Yes.
