About Zakat on Livestock

Zakat on Livestock is the obligation for Muslim livestock owners to pay a portion of their animals to those in need. The amount depends on the type of animals, their count, and whether they graze freely or are stall-fed.

Zakat is only due on animals that graze freely for most of the year. Animals that are stall-fed are not subject to Zakat unless they are kept for trade purposes, in which case they would be treated as commercial goods.

The Zakat is due after one lunar year (Hawl) of ownership, provided the animals meet the Nisab threshold and are grazing freely.

The Nisab for livestock is based on authentic Hadith narrations:

• Camels: Based on the Prophet's statement about Zakat on camels (Sahih Bukhari)

• Sheep/Goats: Based on the Prophet's statement about Zakat on sheep (Sahih Bukhari & Muslim)
