Issue No. 1630Zakat on Livestock (Animals)

Taxable Limit of Cows

Issue No. 1630- Cows have two taxable limits:The first taxable limit is 30 cows. If the number of cows owned by a person reaches 30, and if other conditions mentioned earlier are also fulfilled, he should give as zakāt a calf, either male or female, which has entered at least the second year of its life.The second taxable limit is 40, and its zakāt is a female calf, which has entered at least the 3rd year of its life. There is no zakāt payable when the number of the cows is between 30 and 40. For example, if a person possesses 35 cows, he should pay zakāt on 30 cows only. Furthermore, if he possesses more than 40 cows but their number does not reach 60, he should pay zakāt on 40 cows only. In case their number reaches 60, he should give as zakāt 2 calves, which have entered the second year of their lives. Similarly, as the number of cows increases, he should calculate either in thirties or in forties or from both 30 and 40 (in possible cases), and should pay zakāt in accordance with the rule explained above. However, he should calculate in such a way that there should be no remainder, or if there is a remainder, it should not exceed nine. For example, if he has 70 cows, he should calculate in 30 and 40 and pay the prescribed zakāt of each one, and the person who has 80 cows, he should pay two calves as prescribed above as zakāt.

Issue No. 1615Zakat of Gold and Silver

Taxable Limit of Gold

Issue No. 1615- There are two taxable limits of gold:The first taxable limit is 20 mithqāls (equal to 69.12 grams). If gold reaches this quantity and other requisite conditions are also present, then one should pay one-fortieth of it (2.5 %) as zakāt, and if it does not reach this quantity, no zakāt would be payable on it.The second taxable limit is four mithqāls (13.82 gms). In other words, if four mithqāls are added to 20 mithqāls, one should pay the zakāt of 24 mithqāls at the rate of 2.5%, and if less than four mithqāls are added, then, only the zakāt of 20 mithqāls will be obligatory, and it will not be obligatory to pay zakāt on the additional quantity. The same rule applies when further additions take place in the quantity of gold, i.e., if a further increase of four mithqāls takes place zakāt should be paid on the entire quantity, and if the increase is less than that, no zakāt is due on the additional quantity.

Issue No. 1616Zakat of Gold and Silver

Taxable Limit of Silver

Issue No. 1616- Silver also has two taxable limits:The first taxable limit is 140 mithqāls (equal to 483.84 gms). When the quantity of silver reaches that limit, and other conditions are also present, one should pay one-fortieth (2.5%) of it as zakāt, and if the quantity of silver does not reach the aforesaid limit, it is not obligatory to pay zakāt on it.The second taxable limit of silver is when there is an addition of 28 mithqāls (equal to 96.76 gms). Therefore if an addition of 28 mithqāls takes place to 140 mithqāls, the person concerned should pay zakāt on 168 mithqāls, and if the addition is less than 28 mithqāls, he should pay zakāt on 140 mithqāls only and no zakāt is payable on the additional quantity. The same rule applies as and when further additions take place in the quantity of silver. However, in order for the calculation to be easy, if a person gives 2.5% of the gold or silver, which he possesses, he has paid the zakāt, which was obligatory on him, and sometimes he pays even more than the obligatory quantity.
