Question:
A message was received by the program from Iraq, Ninawa Governorate, sent by a listener from there, who described himself as the program's constant friend, and his name is 'Isam Mahmud Salim. Brother 'Isam has a collection of questions, one of which says: I read in the book (Fiqh al-Zakah) that if wealth reaches the nisab, and its amount is, for example, one thousand dinars, and then it becomes one thousand and fifty dinars when the lunar year completes, then what exceeds the nisab must also be zakat-able, even if the lunar year has not completed for it. Is this correct? Guide us, may Allah reward you.
Answer:
Yes, this is correct. The profit follows the original capital. So, if it was, for example, one thousand dollars before the year, and at the end of the year, a few days before the year was completed, a profit of fifty, or more, was obtained; then the owner zakat-izes the whole, the profit follows the original capital.
And likewise, if he had nine camels, and at the completion of the year one was born, making them ten; then two sheep are obligatory upon him; due to the presence of the one that completed the ten at the end of the year, and likewise similar cases.
So the point is: that the profit, and the offspring follow the original capital, they are zakat-ized following the original capital, and a new lunar year is not required for them, yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
