The age that suffices for paying zakah from camels, cattle, and sheep.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding zakah, we know, for example, the nisab thresholds for camels and cattle. This is for livestock, meaning camels, cattle, and sheep. So, for example, regarding the nisab for camels, it is five camels Sahih al-Bukhari 1405. Does this mean any type of camel, or do they have a specific age?
The Shaykh : No, there are ages mentioned in the books of fiqh and hadith. And I, of course, first am not a camel owner, and second, these issues are not practical in cities. So, given the weakness of our memory and the lack of retention, we do not mean to memorize these ages. But they are mentioned; they must have a specific age.
The questioner : And so it is with sheep and cattle.
The Shaykh : All of that.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
no Zakat is due on less than five camels
