The Ruling on Zakah in Trade Goods

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh: May Allah reward you. If they said there is no zakah in trade goods.

Answer:
Exactly. The price of the dinar in the market, the price of the dinars, the market price of the dinar in the market, yes. Shaykh, may Allah guide you, the one who spoke about the knowledge of zakah in trade goods.
It has no basis, say it has no basis, so there is no room for it, yes, because the trade does not leave dinars behind; the dinars are spent in the trade, no dinars remain like that. If it were said there is no zakah in the goods, zakah would be invalidated and gone. Then, in the hadith, there is a command that the charity be returned in what is prepared for sale, and in the hadith of Abu Dharr regarding the giving of zakah. Then, even if nothing of this were returned, because the purpose of trade is to promote gold and silver and seek profit, the presence of gold and silver in the goods is a known matter. The gold and silver themselves are present in the goods for the sake of seeking profit. Yes.

The presenter:
Yes.
