A man has a farm, and before he pays the zakah he gives away half of it as charity. What is the ruling?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A man has a farm with crops. When he looked, meaning, the matter reached him, and before he paid the zakah, he gave it as charity.
The Shaykh : Before it was threshed, before it was threshed.
The questioner : Before it was cut, he gave half of it, divided half of it and gave it.
The Shaykh : Before it was threshed, before it was threshed, and before it was harvested.
The questioner : Or the barley.
The Shaykh : Now, when they say that the grain must be given out cleaned, and that if he gives it in the ears it is sufficient. But what appears, if Allah wills, is that if he gives it in the ears, and he also sells the grain in the ears, there is no harm in it, provided he is certain that what he gave the poor is one-tenth or half of one-tenth.
The questioner : That it amounts to, meaning, about a third of the entire crop is given as charity to the poor.
The Shaykh : Before it ripens.
The questioner : Before it becomes...
The Shaykh : When it ripens, the zakah becomes obligatory.
The questioner : So the chest of the breast.
The Shaykh : Everyone. No.
The questioner : Okay, that is fine.
The Shaykh : No, it has not been fulfilled.
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : That it be zakah, and it must be cleaned, because if you give the poor person the ears, he cannot benefit from them, and even if they sell them cheaply,
The questioner : In some countries, the poor can only be reached at harvest time. They come to them and are ready to accept them in the baskets.
The Shaykh : All right, if they are ready, give them what you are certain is one-tenth if one-tenth is due, or half of it if half is due.
The questioner : They have baskets, meaning, they cut with them, meaning, they count with these baskets, meaning, they take a price and give us twenty.
The Shaykh : And it is the same.
The questioner : Peace.
The Shaykh : There is no harm.
The Shaykh : Before it was threshed, before it was threshed.
The questioner : Before it was cut, he gave half of it, divided half of it and gave it.
