Did you interpret the zakah on trade goods as general charity based on the athar of Ibn 'Umar?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

The questioner : How are you, my Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.

The questioner : My Shaykh, I have some points regarding the issue of zakah on trade goods.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : That it can be interpreted as general charity.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : And you said that this, which is the athar of Ibn 'Umar, yes, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : What is the athar of Ibn 'Umar?

The questioner : It is, my Shaykh,
There is no zakah in trade goods except what is for trade. ليس في العروض زكاة إلا ما كان للتجارة
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 4:655
.

The Shaykh : Yes, first of all, this athar is not authentic, but what do you want from this question?

The questioner : My Shaykh, I had some observations regarding it.

The Shaykh : And they are.

The questioner : Shall I mention them to you, my Shaykh?

The Shaykh : And they are, my Shaykh.

The questioner : Shall I mention them?

The Shaykh : I am telling you, and they are.

The questioner : A bit long, but.

The Shaykh : May Allah guide you, give me just one observation.

The questioner : For example, my Shaykh, that interpretation is a branch of authentication, and this is a suspended statement.

The Shaykh : May Allah guide you, do you have a text regarding the obligation of zakah on trade goods?

The questioner : No text.

The Shaykh : So why are you troubling yourself without a text?

The questioner : My Shaykh, it is not that you, because you interpreted the statement of Ibn 'Umar.

The Shaykh: Our Shaykh.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Do not fight in the air.

The questioner : No harm, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Do you have a text regarding the obligation of zakah on trade goods?

The questioner : No, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : So what do you want from this research? What is the benefit of the research? If I concede to you that all your observations are correct, what do you gain from it?

The questioner : It means I would have achieved something for myself, that I was able, for example, to make observations.

The Shaykh : But.

The questioner : Hmm.

The Shaykh : May Allah guide you, May Allah guide you.

The questioner : But, my Shaykh, the athar of Ibn 'Umar, my Shaykh, you authenticated it.

The Shaykh : What is it, my brother?

The questioner : It is the statement of Ibn 'Umar:
There is no zakah in trade goods except what is for trade. ليس في العروض زكاة إلا ما كان للتجارة
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 4:655
I said that al-Shafi'i narrated it with a sound chain.

The Shaykh : Be patient, where is this mentioned?

The questioner : In Tammam al-Mannah, in the commentary on Fiqh al-Sunnah.

The Shaykh : Does this statement mean it is legislated?

The questioner: No.

The Shaykh : Yes, let us return and say, my brother, what is the benefit of the research you are conducting? May Allah guide you.

The questioner : Because you, my Shaykh, interpreted the statement of Ibn 'Umar, you tried to interpret it, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : May Allah guide you, my brother, I did not interpret the words of Allah and the words of the Messenger of Allah for the sake of Ibn 'Umar; I interpreted the words of Ibn 'Umar for the sake of the words of Allah.

The questioner : So there are observations regarding this interpretation.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.

The questioner : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
