The Fourth: Livestock, and that they be grazing, and the meaning of grazing.

The Shaykh : The fourth is livestock, which are camels, cattle, and sheep. It is a condition for the obligation of zakah in them that they be grazing. Grazing means that they graze for most of the lunar year. If these camels, cattle, or sheep are fed, meaning they are given feed and do not graze, or if they graze for one or two months of the year and are fed for the rest, then there is no zakah in them as long as they are kept for breeding and accumulation. Be careful, my brother: the condition for livestock is what? That they be grazing, meaning they graze, as the Exalted said: So grazing livestock is that which grazes in the wilderness from what Allah the Mighty and Majestic has brought forth, either for the full lunar year or for most of the lunar year.
