Chapter on Zakat of Wheat, Barley, Dates, and Raisins

Ali ibn al-Hasan ibn Faddal from his two brothers from their father from Ali ibn Uqbah from Abdullah ibn Bukayr from some of our companions from one of the two Imams عليه السلام, peace be upon them, who said: Imam عليه السلام said: “Regarding the zakat of wheat, barley, dates, and raisins, there is no zakat on what is less than five awsaq. Then when it reaches five awsaq, zakat becomes obligatory in it. The wasq is sixty sa’, so that is three hundred sa’ according to the sa’ of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family. The zakat in it is the tenth (10%) in what the sky waters or what is flowing water, Or half of the tenth (5%) in what is watered by the bucket (al-gharb) and the water-carrying camels (al-nawadih).”
