The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner : Some farmers plant fenugreek and radish. Is zakah obligatory on them or not?
The Shaykh : Yes, zakah is obligatory on fenugreek and radish, provided that they reach the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah). One does not combine some of it with the other; the fenugreek is considered on its own, and the radish on its own. However, if they do not reach the nisab, there is no zakah on them.
The questioner : What is the amount of the nisab?
The Shaykh : Three hundred sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) by the sa' of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
