Evaluating Trade Goods in Zakah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the case of trade goods, are they evaluated at their current selling price or at the price at which they were purchased?
Answer:
No, the price at which they were purchased is not considered. They are evaluated when the lunar year of possession is completed at their current price, which is what they are worth in the present, whether that is less than, more than, or equal to the price at which they were purchased.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
