Is the saying of Allah the Exalted, “And give its due on the day of its harvest,” the original basis for the issue of zakah on trade goods?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My Shaykh, may Allah honor you, is the verse you mentioned: [Al-An'am 6:141] the original evidence for the issue?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : In the issue of trade goods.
The Shaykh : This is, of course, among the evidence. It has two meanings. The first meaning is what we mentioned earlier. The other is that, with regard to some plants and some grains, the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) and the obligatory amount were clarified, as is known, for what is irrigated by rain and what is irrigated by watering.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, but the generality of the verse remains, encompassing the other types.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If you have finished, we have guests who are here. If you have finished, we ask your forgiveness!
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
