The Amount of Zakah in Grains and Fruits
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q3: Is zakah paid in the same amount from all crops, i.e., edible items, such as cotton and the like? And what is the amount for fruits, such as grapes and citrus fruits like oranges and lemons?
A3: The zakah on dates and grains is paid as previously mentioned: half of one-tenth for what is irrigated by waterwheels and the like, and one-tenth for what is irrigated by rivers, rain, and the like. Grapes are treated like dates, and their zakah is paid in the form of raisins, just as the zakah on fresh dates is paid in the form of dried dates. If he sells them before paying the zakah, he pays the zakah from the sale price. As for everything else, there is no zakah on it; rather, zakah becomes obligatory on its value if a lunar year has passed and it reaches the minimum threshold (nisab) on its own, or by combining it with the owner’s other zakatable cash or trade goods.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.
