Zakah on Cotton
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 4894 )
Q1: Is zakah obligatory on cotton plants, what is its value, what is the nisab, and are expenses taken into account, given that this plant requires many expenses before it matures, prior to the payment of zakah?
A1: Zakah is not obligatory on cotton plants according to the correct opinion of the scholars, which is the view of the majority of scholars in this matter; because the original ruling is that it is not obligatory, and nothing has been established in the Shari'ah that takes it out of this original ruling. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
