Question:
May Allah grant you success. If a man buys and sells horses or donkeys, may Allah honor you?
Answer:
These are trade goods. If he buys and sells them, we say that there is no zakah on horses and donkeys as grazing livestock, meaning there is no zakah on them as grazing livestock. However, if he buys or sells them, these are trade goods, and zakah is obligatory on them as trade goods, not as grazing livestock.
