Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: How do I pay the zakah on trade goods? I have an Islamic recordings shop. Do I estimate the value of the goods at the price I buy them for, or at the price I sell them to customers? May Allah the Exalted reward you with good.
Answer:
Once the lunar year has passed, you pay zakah on the money you have and on the goods you have for sale. You estimate their value at what they are worth, you make an effort to determine their prices, and you pay one-quarter of one-tenth. Yes.
