Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A message was sent from northern Sinai, Egypt, by the listener Salem Salim. He says: We grow apricot trees in our country, and they are watered by rainwater, and the harvest is abundant, praise be to Allah. Do we have to pay zakah or not? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
I am not aware of any zakah on apricots, apples, pomegranates, eggplants, and things like them. I am not aware of any zakah on them because they are not among the items that are weighed and stored; rather, they are eaten, like other fruits and vegetables. So, to the best of our knowledge, there is no zakah on them. If you give charity from them, may Allah reward you with good. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
