Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : And Al-Mujaddid said: It is a consensus.
The Shaykh : And he said?
The questioner : Al-Mujaddid, "Al-Mujaddid ibn Taymiyyah."
Another questioner : "Al-Mujaddid ibn Taymiyyah."
Another questioner : The Shaykh al-Islam himself.
The Shaykh : Al-Mujaddid.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : He said: Al-Mujaddid, yes.
The questioner : So Al-Mujaddid said: "It is a consensus"; meaning the payment of zakah on livestock, and you said at the beginning: We do not know of a consensus.
The Shaykh : No, there is no consensus. This is clear from the book "Al-Muhalla" by Ibn Hazm, and from what I mentioned earlier regarding 'Umar ibn al-Khattab concerning the horses for which they asked him to take zakah. He said: "I will do what my two companions did before." Then 'Ali said: Take it as a form of charity among the charities.
Yes.
