Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. It is a condition for the obligation of zakah in livestock, yes, that it be grazing for the year or most of it. Now, if it is grazing for six months and fed for five?
The questioner : ... zakah is obligatory on it.
The Shaykh : Zakah is obligatory on it because it was grazing for most of the year. And the reverse, Abdullah, if it is grazing for five months and fed for six months, then there is no zakah on it, yes, because most of the year it was fed. Now, there is another condition, Khalid?
The questioner : That it be kept for milk and breeding.
The Shaykh : That it be kept for milk and breeding. Now, if a person has twenty-five camels, Khalid, is he counting them for work?
The questioner : For work?
The Shaykh : Yes, there is no zakah on them, even if he takes a wage from them?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : I do not say, even if there is a wage on them?
The questioner : Even if there is a wage on them.
The Shaykh : Even if there is a wage on them. Now, is there a parallel for this in real estate?
The questioner : Working?
The Shaykh : Working.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Real estate that is rented out, like buildings and houses, there is no zakah on them, but the zakah is on the rent, if it is kept for trade, Ali?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Kept for trade, there is no zakah on it?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : But there is zakah on it, or not?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : The point is there is zakah on it, but it is calculated by value. Now, if it is fed and it is for trade? You.
The questioner : Me.
The Shaykh : No, the one in front of you, the last one, you, the one behind you, the problem is the one who does not know the names, behind the one behind you, exactly. I say, if it is for trade and it is fed, is there zakah on it or not?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : There is zakah on it.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : The question is, is there zakah on it or not? Why do you raise your hand in opposition?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Now, what is the parallel for this issue? If it is fed and it is for trade, there is zakah on it.
The questioner : For example, a man bought four sheep, what ... .
The Shaykh : What is its parallel among trade goods?
The questioner : Like clothes and the like.
The Shaykh : Like clothes. The shopkeeper rents the shop, cleans the cloth, and works hard on it, and yet there is zakah on it. This fed livestock also has zakah on it because it is trade goods.
The questioner : ... zakah is obligatory on it.
The Shaykh : Zakah is obligatory on it because it was grazing for most of the year. And the reverse, Abdullah, if it is grazing for five months and fed for six months, then there is no zakah on it, yes, because most of the year it was fed. Now, there is another condition, Khalid?
