Is it permissible to pay the zakah of poultry in cash?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for me to pay the zakah of a poultry farm in the form of money?

Answer:
Everything that a Muslim considers as wealth, whether it is animals or non-animals, intended for sale, he must pay zakah on its value when the lunar year is completed; for Abu Dawud (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated from Samurah ibn Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) : He said:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us to give charity from what we prepare for saleأمرنا رسول الله ﷺ أن نخرج الصدقة مما نعده للبيع
, and there are other proofs regarding this.
One should not look at the purchase price; rather, the consideration is the value of the goods prepared for sale when the lunar year is completed, whether that value is less than the purchase price or more. And success is from Allah.
