Ruling on the zakah of crops watered by rain
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people have told them: "There is no zakah on crops that are not watered." Is what was said correct?
Answer:
Yes, it has the zakah of one-tenth. If it is watered by rain or by its own roots, it is one-tenth. For what the sky waters, it is one-tenth if it is grains or fruits, such as grapes and dates. Yes.
The presenter: But not for fruit?
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with it.
The presenter: Fruit is the same, whether it is watered by rain or otherwise.
The Shaykh: Yes, there is nothing in it unless it is for trade, for buying and selling. If he keeps it to trade in it, and a lunar year passes over its dirhams, over its value, he pays zakah on it.
The presenter : May Allah bless you, may Allah reward you with good.
