Question:
Regarding the zakah on honey and grapes, Honorable Shaykh, in the orchard that I own, when do I pay this zakah?
Answer:
As for the grapes, if you harvest their produce and intend to sell it, you appraise it at its value and pay zakah on it. You appraise the grape harvest at its value and pay zakah on it. As for the honey, if you obtain honey from it, you pay zakah by giving a quarter of a tenth of the value of the honey, or some scholars hold that it is a tenth, because it is something that comes out of the earth. This is a matter of scholarly disagreement. The school of thought holds that it is among the wealth subject to zakah, and that it is something that comes out of the earth, so it is subject to zakah. Yes.
