Muslims Till Death:
AS SALAAMU ALAYKUM WARAHMATULLAH WABARAKAATUHU. LET'S START TONIGHT'S EDUCATION. OUR TOPIC IS 👇. *ZAKAT (Episode 2)___*PAGE 1*___. ✍️...
▫️– This extra amount may come gradually, such as money that a person saves from his salary, so he saves 500 one month, and 1000 another month, until at the end of the year he has collected 4000. So you have the choice of paying the whole amount when one year has passed for the thousand, in which case you will have paid zakat in advance for the money for which a year has not yet passed, or you can pay the zakat for each sum separately when its year has passed, but this entails some kind of hardship, as you will be paying zakat several times in one year.

*No Zakat on Personal Properties*
The Muslim does not have to pay zakat on the house in which he lives – even if there is more than one house – or on the car which he has for his own use – no matter how valuable it may be.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allāh have mercy on him) said:
There is no zakat on houses if they are for living in… but with regard to land, houses, stores and the like that are prepared for sale, zakat is due on these according to their value each year when a full year has passed, regardless of whether their value has risen or fallen, if the owner has firmly resolved to sell them.
Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz, 14/173.
___*PAGE 3*___. ✍️...
There is no zakat on shops and property used for business themselves; there is no zakat on land or buildings or on the furnishings and vessels in the store, no matter how much they are worth, unless these things have been prepared for sale, in which case zakat is due on them. This is what the scholars call zakat on trade goods.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allāh have mercy on him) said: The basic principle is that everything that is prepared for sale is subject to zakat, and things that are used in the shop are not subject to zakat.
Majmoo’ Fataawa wa Maqaalaat Mutanawwi’ah li’l-Shaykh Ibn Baaz, 14/183.
___*PAGE 4*___. ✍️...
The way in which the zakat is worked out is:
The value of the goods that are in the store at the end of the year is worked out, then the zakat is paid on them at a rate of one-quarter of one-tenth, i.e., 2.5 % of the value.

*Animals on which Zakat is due*
The animals on which zakat is due are the an’aam animals, which are:
▫️-Camels
▫️-Cattle, including buffalo
▫️-Sheep, which includes goats
This applies if their number reaches the *nisaab* and they are put out to pasture, i.e. they graze and feed from plants on the land, and their owner does not purchase feed for them.
Other kinds of animals are not subject to zakat unless they are for dealing and trading, in which case zakat must be paid as for trade goods, such as a person who deals in ostriches, ducks, chickens, horses and so on.
___*PAGE 6*___. ✍️...
If they are an’aam animals that are given feed, but their owner trades in them, then he should pay zakat as for trade goods, so he should work out their value when one year has passed and pay one-quarter of one-tenth of their value as zakat.
It says in al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah (23/250): The fuqaha’ are unanimously agreed that camels, cattle and sheep are the kinds of animals on which zakat must be paid, and they quoted many ahadith as evidence for that. There is a difference of opinion with regard to horses. As for mules, donkeys and other kinds of animals, no zakat is due on them unless they are for trade.

*Zakat on Animals*
The an’aam animals are camels, cattle and sheep (including goats). No zakat is due on other animals unless they are for trade.
▫️– The nisaab of camels is five, according to scholarly consensus, on which a sheep is to be given (as zakat). For ten camels, two sheep must be given; for fifteen, three sheep; for twenty, four sheep; for twenty-five, a bint makhaad (a she-camel in its second year), and so on, as narrated in the hadeeth, as we shall see below.
___*PAGE 8*___. ✍️...
Based on this, whoever owns four camels or less does not have to pay zakat, unless he wants to.
The basic principle concerning that is the hadith narrated by al-Bukhari (1454) from Anas, according to which Abu Bakr (may Allāh be pleased with him) wrote this letter to him when he sent him to Bahrain:
___*PAGE 9*___. ✍️...
In the name of Allāh, the most Gracious, the Most Merciful. This is the obligation of Allāh which the Messenger of Allāh (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) enjoined upon the Muslims and which Allāh enjoined upon His Messenger. Whoever among the Muslims is asked for it in the proper manner, let him give it, and whoever is asked for more than that, let him not give. For twenty-four camels or less, for each five, one sheep. If the number reaches twenty-five up to thirty-five, then a female bint makhaad (a she-camel in its second year) is due.
___*PAGE 10*___. ✍️...
If the number reaches thirty-six up to forty-five, then a female bint laboon (a she-camel in its third year) is due. If the number reaches forty-six up to sixty, then a hiqqah (a she-camel in its fourth year) is due. If the number reaches sixty-one up to seventy-five, then a jadha’ah (a she-camel in its fifth year) is due. If the number reaches seventy-six up to ninety then two bint laboon are due (she-camels in their third year). If the number reaches ninety-one up to one hundred and twenty, then two hiqqah are due (she-camels in their fourth year…). If there are more than one hundred and twenty, then for every forty a bint laboon is due and for every fifty a hiqqah.
