Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Do dairy companies have to pay zakah on their cows?
Answer:
If they are for sale, then there is zakah on them. If they are for milk only, then there is no zakah on them. Rather, the zakah is on the money that accumulates with them, if a lunar year passes over it. As for the cow that is for milking and breeding and not for sale, there is no zakah on it.
