Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : From what is it taken? The fig is not considered raisins; raisins are made from grapes. It is called by a customary name, like a label, but it is indeed figs. Figs are stored, but there is no zakah on them according to the school of thought, even if they are stored, because this storage is incidental. Otherwise, people have informed us that they store them to the extent that they keep them as a reserve alongside dates. Yes?
