Q 5:
Is it obligatory for the farmer to pay the Zakah (obligatory charity) upon harvesting the crops or after the threshing process (separating the grain from the straw)?
A:
Zakah is due on the farmer when the grains harden and ripen, after separating the grains and seeds from the straw and flailing them. Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) states:
...pay the due thereof (its Zakât, according to Allâh’s Orders 1/10th or 1/20th) on the day of its harvest
