The questioner : These three categories. May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : Which one?
The questioner : Camels, cattle, and sheep.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Are they to be treated by analogy with them? There are some people who ... raise them, they breed among them, and they drink their milk.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : Is there anything required in them?
The Shaykh : No, there is nothing in them, there is nothing in them. For example, if a person has horses grazing freely, there is no zakah in them as long as they are not for trade. Some people raise pigeons.
The questioner : If it is for trade.
The Shaykh : For trade, there is nothing wrong with it, but he wants to increase them. He has many pigeons, and whenever they are born, meaning they do not hatch, he slaughters them and eats them. There is no zakah in them. Yes?
