Zakah on trade goods before the lunar year has passed

The questioner:
And foodstuffs.

The Shaykh:
are subject to zakah if they are for sale.

The questioner:
Some items may not have reached the end of the year, and some, I mean, may be sold off before that.

The Shaykh:
If the year has not yet passed, he owes zakah on the price. On the price at which he sells them, he adds the price to the money he has. The measure is their value. If he sells them, he adds the price to the money he has and pays zakah on it. It is not paid annually based on valuation. No, trade goods are treated according to their status. If the year has passed, he pays zakah on their value. If he sells them before the year passes, he pays zakah on the price that came to him along with the money he has. If the trade goods remain, he pays zakah on their value along with the money he has. May Allah will it.

The questioner:
She gave birth, she gave birth.

The Shaykh:
If he pays zakah on what is present, he pays zakah on what he has when the year has passed. He pays zakah on the value of what he has when the year has passed. He waits until the year is known to have passed. The default is soundness. Yes.
