The Zakah of Fruits After the Estimation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If the entire orchard is left, is a third or a quarter left for them?
The Shaykh:
If the orchard remains unestimated, they pay zakah on the whole of it. If the dates remain in their state, they pay zakah on the whole of it. This is merely a precaution and a kindness to them and a provision for them. So if all the dates remain with them, they pay zakah on them as they are, whether diminished or complete, according to their condition. But this is a measure of caution so that the matter does not become burdensome for them, so that they may eat and give charity while at ease. They rely on the estimation, give charity, eat, and feed others while at ease. However, if they leave the fruits until they are gathered and become more than what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned regarding the estimation,
The presenter:
In the estimation, they leave a third or a quarter. He said they leave it for them, and they pay zakah on it.
The Shaykh:
No, no. It means he lowers it. It means he lowers it.
