Paying Zakat of a Property from the Same Property
Issue No. 1611- If zakāt of dates or raisins is obligatory on a person, he cannot pay it in the form of green dates or grapes. However, he can sell the green dates or grapes to a needy person, and consider his debt as zakāt. If he is going to sell green dates or grapes before they are dried up, he can pay their zakāt from themselves.
