Paying zakah on crops in cash and the nisab for zakah
If a farmer sells the date palm fruit and forgets to pay the zakah, should he buy fruit for the zakah or pay it in cash, and what is the nisab for zakah?
If a person sells the fruit of his palm trees or his crops, he pays the zakah from its value; because this is closer to justice and this is more beneficial for the poor in our time. For example, if he sells it for ten thousand riyals, he pays half of one-tenth, meaning: five hundred riyals.
