Paying the zakah on date palm fruits: Is estimating the yield alone sufficient?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Noble Shaykh, regarding paying the zakah on date palm fruits, is estimating the yield alone sufficient?
The Shaykh : Yes, estimating the yield is sufficient for paying the zakah on date palm fruits. You estimate it when the dates have dried and become ready for harvesting. At that time, you estimate the yield and pay half of one-tenth if they are watered at a cost, or the full one-tenth if they are watered without cost.
