Zakat on Fed Camels
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have thirty camels. In the month of Rajab this year, I did not feed them for two full months, except for the worker's salary. After they returned, I began feeding them an amount close to fifty riyals per day, including the worker's salary. Is zakat obligatory on them? Please note that they go out in the morning and return before sunset.
Answer:
Zakat is obligatory on camels, cattle, and sheep only if they are grazing, meaning they graze for most of the lunar year, or for the entire lunar year or most of it. However, if you spend on them for most of the lunar year or half of the lunar year, there is no zakat on them, because they are not grazing. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
