Paying Zakat of Animal the Next Year
Issue No. 1640- If a person, who is required to pay zakāt on these animals, gives that zakāt from some other property owned by him he should pay zakāt on the animals every year until their number becomes less than the taxable limit. In case he gives zakāt out of those very animals and they become less than the first taxable limit, payment of zakāt is not obligatory on him. If before the 11th month, he exchanges his animals with something else, payment of zakāt is not obligatory on him; but if he changes those animals with other cows, sheep, and camels, for example, he gives 40 sheep and takes 40 other sheep, he should, as an obligatory precaution, pay zakāt on them.
