Zakah on camels kept for personal use and camels kept for trade

Question:
All right, let’s take Abu Khalid. Go ahead, Abu Khalid. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. By the way. Shaykh, is that okay? Praise be to Allah, praise be to Allah. Yes, from the speakerphone. We are the ones who sell and buy in camels, specifically racing camels. Yes. And sometimes we buy them for two hundred when they are worth ten thousand, and sometimes we buy them for ten thousand when they are worth two hundred. So how is the zakah on these trade goods, Shaykh? Is it paid from the camels themselves? Thank you, thank you.

Answer:
Let’s lower our voices. The Shaykh wants to hear the question over the phone without the speakerphone, brothers, clearly. The question. He says: Regarding dealing in camels and the zakah on these camels, because they buy and sell them. The zakah on camels is paid from the camels themselves. It is paid from the camels themselves, based on their age and their milk, which is known from the Sunnah.
As for camels intended for sale, not for personal use, camels that he wants to sell, these are trade goods. Their price is what they are worth, and he pays out one-quarter of a tenth of their assessed value if they are for sale. As for camels kept for personal use, which are grazing and feed on pasture for a lunar year or most of it, their zakah is paid from the camels themselves. This is detailed in the books of jurisprudence, yes.
