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

And that which Muhammad ibn Yaqub narrated from Abu Ali al-Ashari from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Uthman ibn Isa from Samaah, who said: I asked him about ‘zakat on raisins and dates.’ So he said: “In every five awsaq there is one wasq, and the wasq is sixty sa’, and zakat in both of them is the same. As for food, then the tenth is due on what the sky waters; And as for what is watered by the bucket (al-gharb) and the waterwheels (al-dawali), then only half of the tenth is due on it.”
