Is there Zakah on livestock which are fed for half of the year?
A- There is no Zakah on livestock which is fed for a half of the year in total, because Zakah on livestock is not obligatory unless they are Sa’imah. Sa’imah are animals which are reared on what Allah produces from the earth for a complete year, or for more than a year. As for animals fed for part of a year, or half of the year, there is no Zakah due upon them, unless they are prepared for sale, for these carry the ruling of Zakah on merchandize.
