Zakah on Tethered Livestock
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A question for the Shaykh (may Allah prolong your life), please, regarding the zakah on livestock.
The presenter:
Please proceed.
The questioner:
We have livestock, may Allah prolong your life. Currently, there is no pasture on the land for them to graze on for more than a lunar year. In other words, people are constantly feeding them at their own expense, which costs more than their income. Is zakah due on these?
The Shaykh:
The zakah of grazing livestock? No. But if he intends them for buying and selling, then these are trade goods, and zakah is due on their value. As for if he wants them for the zakah of grazing livestock, these are not grazing livestock, so there is no zakah on them. Yes.
The presenter:
Thank you.
