Chapter on Categories Upon Whom Zakat is Obligatory
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: «لاَ تُؤْخَذُ اَلْأَكُولَةُ وَ اَلْأَكُولَةُ اَلْكَبِيرَةُ مِنَ اَلشَّاةِ تَكُونُ فِي اَلْغَنَمِ وَ لاَ وَالِدٌ وَ لاَ اَلْكَبْشُ اَلْفَحْلُ ».
In a narration from Sama'ah, it is reported: "The animal kept for eating, the large eating sheep among the flock, the nursing ewe, and the breeding ram are not to be taken as Zakat."
