Issue 934: Zakat will be payable if a person retains the ownership of cows, camels, sheep, gold and silver for twelve months; however, from the beginning of the twelfth month, they cannot handle the property in such a way that the property is lost and ruined, and if such loss of the property occurs, they will be liable; If, unwillingly, some of the conditions for the payment of Zakat are removed, it will no more be obligatory to pay Zakat.

Issue 935: If the owner of some cows, sheep, camels, gold and silver reaches puberty within the financial year at the end of which Zakat is payable, it will not be obligatory for them to pay Zakat.

The time for paying the Zakat payable on wheat and barely is when they are threshed and the chaff is separated from the grains. The time for paying the Zakat payable on dates and raisins is when they are dried.
