Zakah on grazing and fed sheep
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has a group of sheep and asks: Is there zakah on them?
Answer:
My brother, I have heard the answer to this several times. Sheep that graze on grass from the land for a year or most of it are subject to zakah because they are grazing sheep. As for sheep that are fed for a year or most of it and expenses are incurred on them, there is no zakah on them unless their owner intends to sell and trade them, in which case he pays zakah on them as trade goods. Yes.
