Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I have a group of camels that have reached the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah). During the day, I take them out to graze on grass, and when they return in the afternoon, I feed them barley. Are they considered grazing livestock, such that zakah is obligatory on them?
Answer:
The criterion is what is predominant. If the predominant portion is their grazing on grass, then zakah is obligatory on them, because they are grazing livestock. If the predominant portion is what you give them as feed, then there is no zakah on them. Yes.
