Zakat on Currency and Produce of the Earth

...

215—As for zakat on currency, it has already been stated1 that nothing is due until it reaches two hundred2 dirhams, at which point one-fortieth is due.

216—As for zakat on the grains and fruits3 produced by the earth, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“No zakat is due on less than five wasqs of dates.” Agreed upon4.

A wasq is sixty sāʿs. Thus, the zakat threshold for grains and fruits is three hundred sāʿs, according to the sāʿ measure of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

217—The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“On that which is watered by rain or springs, or which draws water naturally through its roots, one-tenth is due; and on that which is irrigated by drawing water, one-twentieth is due.” Reported by al-Bukhārī5.

(1) Not found in “B” or “T.” (2) In “T”: *mā’atā* (“two hundred”). (3) That which is measured by volume and stored. *Nūr al-Basā’ir*, p. 24. (4) Reported by al-Bukhārī, 3/332, and Muslim, no. 979. (5) Reported by al-Bukhārī, 3/347. *Al-atharī* is that which draws water through its roots without irrigation. The term derives from “coming upon” something, since it comes upon water without any labor by its owner.

زكاة ألأثمان والخارج من الأرض ... ٢١٥- وأما صدقة الأثمان: فقد تقدم١ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ مِائَتَي٢ درهم، وفيها ربع العشر. ٢١٦- وَأَمَّا صَدَقَةُ اَلْخَارِجِ مِنْ اَلْأَرْضِ مِنْ اَلْحُبُوبِ وَالثِّمَارِ٣. فَقَدْ قَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ ﷺ: "لَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسَةِ أَوْسُقٍ مِنْ اَلتَّمْرِ صَدَقَةٌ" مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ٤. وَالْوَسْقُ: سِتُّونَ صَاعًا، فَيَكُونُ اَلنِّصَابُ لِلْحُبُوبِ وَالثِّمَارِ: ثَلَاثُمِائَةِ صَاعٍ بِصَاعِ اَلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ. ٢١٧- وَقَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ ﷺ: "فِيمَا سَقَتْ اَلسَّمَاءُ وَالْعُيُونُ، أَوْ كَانَ عَثَرِيًا: اَلْعُشْرُ، وَفِيمَا سُقي بالنضح: نصف العشر". رواه البخاري٥.

١ ليست في "ب، ط". ٢ في "ط": مائتا. ٣ المكيلة المدخرة. "نور البصائر، ص: ٢٤". ٤ رواه البخاري "٣٣٢/٣، ومسلم "٩٧٩". ٥ رواه البخاري "٣٤٧/٣". والعَثَرِي: هو الذي يشرب الماء بعروقه من غير سقي، فهو من عَثَرَ على الشيء عثورا؛ لأنه عثر على الماء من غير عمل صاحبه.
