Is zakah obligatory on dried grapes, dried figs, and pickled olives?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there zakah on dried grapes and dried figs that are stored, and also on pickled olives that are stored?

Answer:
There is no zakah on figs, because the custom is that they are not dried; the custom is that they are eaten fresh. And what about the second one, the dried grapes? Yes, there is zakah on dried grapes. Dried grapes have zakah, yes. And pickled olives? Olives do not, because they are of the kind eaten fresh, and the fact that they are processed and pickled does not change that. It does not count unless they are prepared for sale, in which case they become trade goods. Yes.
