Sheep Has Five Taxable Limits
Issue No. 1628- Sheep have five taxable limits:1- 40 sheep, the zakāt of which is one sheep. No zakāt is payable on less than that.2- 121 sheep, the zakāt of which is two sheep.3- 201 sheep, the zakāt of which is three sheep.4- 301 sheep, the zakāt of which is four sheep.5- 400 sheep and more, the zakāt of which is one sheep for each group of 100 sheep, and there is no zakāt on the group of sheep, which is less than 100, and there is also no zakāt for the number of sheep between the two taxable limits. Therefore, if the number of sheep has reached 40, but does not reach the second taxable limit, which is 121, the owner should give only one sheep as zakāt, and the same rule applies to the succeeding taxable limits.
