No Zakah is due on cattle that are fed throughout the whole or most of the Hawl


359

A: No Zakah is due on cattle that are fed throughout the whole or most of the Hawl. However, it is permissible to accept it from him as a donation, unless it becomes known that he pays it for illicit purposes aiming at worldly gains. In this case, taking it from him involves cooperation in sin and transgression. However, if a sheep owner intends to trade them, Zakah on a commercial commodity should be applicable, in the sense that they should be evaluated after the Hawl has passed and 2.5 % of their value becomes payable.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
