Q 1: I hunted a falcon and sold it for a moderate sum. What is Wajib (obligatory) on me in this regard? (Part No. 8; Page No. 227

A 1: If you have a sum that reaches the Nisab (the minimum amount on which Zakah is due), whether out of the price of the falcon alone or added to any other property you have, and a Hawl has passed on it from the time you possessed it, Zakah becomes Wajib on it. The amount of Zakah is one quarter of one tenth, i.e. 2.50%. The price of the falcon is not considered to be Rikaz (buried treasure).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
