The Ruling on the Zakah of Sheep
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abdullah from Khamis Mushait is with us on the line. Hello. Yes. My brother, I have sheep in my courtyard, and I want to give their zakah. People said that sheep inside the courtyard that do not graze do not have zakah due on them. I have now taken them out to graze for two months. Yes, thank you, Abdullah.
Answer:
Yes, sheep that graze in the open and that you intend to keep for yourself do not have zakah due on them until they reach the nisab of forty or more. However, if you intend them for sale and trade, you must appraise them at their value and give zakah on them.
