Discussion regarding the conditions of zakah on produce from the earth.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Come on, Khalid al-Muzayn, what do you say about apples? Is zakah obligatory on them or not?

The questioner : It is not obligatory.

The Shaykh : It is not obligatory. Why?

The questioner : Because it is not something that is measured and stored.

The Shaykh : Yes, Hidayat Allah, a man walks through farms and picks up grains until he has gathered three nisabs. Is zakah obligatory on him?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Why?

The questioner : Because he is not the owner at the time zakah becomes obligatory.

The Shaykh : Because he is not the owner of it at the time zakah becomes obligatory. Now, what do you say, Khalid, about a man who gathers truffles from the ground? Do you know what a truffle is?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : ... Do you know ... ?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Now, who knows it? Abdullah.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Why?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : He gathers it from what is permissible. Now, people are partners in it, and it is also not something that is measured and stored. Now, is zakah obligatory on ... grapes?

The questioner : The scholars differed on that.

The Shaykh : But according to what the author followed?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Because he said "like dates and raisins." Now, a man has half a nisab of wheat and half a nisab of barley. Brother, is zakah obligatory on him or not?

The questioner : No, because it is not of the same kind.

The Shaykh : Because it is not of the same kind. Now, a man has two orchards, one of which has half a nisab and the other has half a nisab.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Why? Because it is of the same kind. That is all, now.
The author says "And not on what the gatherer acquires". Who is the gatherer, Hajjaj?

The questioner : The gatherer is the one who picks up the harvest after ... he picks up the ears of grain ... .

The Shaykh : He goes through the orchard and picks from it. What is "what is permissible" in the author's saying "And not on what he gathers from what is permissible"? Khalid?

The questioner : What is permissible is that which ... .

The Shaykh : For example?

The questioner : Cotton seed and ... .

The Shaykh : And the za'bal.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : ... Now, this is new. Now, the author says "Even if it grows in his land". Why did he include this?

The questioner : To indicate the existence of a difference of opinion.

The Shaykh : That there is a difference of opinion, which is that if it grows in his land, then zakah is obligatory on him, and the correct view is that there is no zakah on him because he does not own it except by gathering it. The obligatory rate of zakah, Ali, is one-tenth of a quarter. When?

The questioner : One-tenth of a quarter on what is irrigated with effort.

The Shaykh : Yes, do you agree with him? He says one-tenth of a quarter on what is irrigated with effort?

The questioner : No, no, one-tenth of a quarter on what is irrigated without effort.

The Shaykh : One-tenth of a quarter on what is irrigated without effort, he says it this way?

The questioner : A moment, Shaykh, one-tenth of a quarter.

The Shaykh : On what?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : And its quarter?

The questioner : It is even more so.

The Shaykh : Good, yes.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : What do you say?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Correct? Now, do you have, Ali, evidence for this?

The questioner :
On what is watered by the sky, one-tenth فيما سقت السّماء العشر
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 6:64
.

The Shaykh :
or through natural channels, and half of the Ushr for what is watered by irrigation. أو كان عَثَريّا العشر وفيما سُقِيَ بالنّضح نصف العشر
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 640Sahih (Darussalam)
Al-Bukhari narrated it. Now.
