وَ سَأَلَهُ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ: عَنِ اَلسَّخْلِ مَتَى تَجِبُ فِيهِ اَلصَّدَقَةُ قَالَ «إِذَا أَجْذَعَ.
Ishaq ibn Ammar asked him (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام) about young lambs: "When does Zakat become obligatory on them?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "When they reach the age of jadha' (when they shed their baby teeth)."
