Yahya related to me from Malik from Ziyad ibn Sad that Ibn Shihabsaid, "Neither jurur, nor musran al-fara, nor adhq ibn hubayq shouldbe taken as zakat from dates. They should be included in theassessment but not taken as zakat. " Malik said, "This is thesame as with sheep and goats, whose young are included in theassessment but are not (actually) taken as zakat. There are alsocertain kinds of fruit which are not taken as zakat, such as burdidates (one of the finest kinds of dates), and similar varieties. Neither the lowest quality (of any property) nor the highestshould be taken. Rather, zakat should be taken from average qualityproperty." Malik said, "The position that we are agreed uponconcerning fruit is that only dates and grapes are estimated while onthe tree. They are estimated when their usability is clear and theyare halal to sell. This is because the fruit of date-palms and vinesis eaten straightaway in the form of fresh dates and grapes, and sothe assessment is done by estimation to make things easier for peopleand to avoid causing them trouble. Their produce is estimated and thenthey are given a free hand in using their produce as they wish, andlater they pay the zakat on it according to the estimation that wasmade." Malik said, "crops which are not eaten fresh, such asgrains and seeds, which are only eaten after they have been harvested,are not estimated. The owner, after he has harvested, threshed andsifted the crop, so that it is then in the form of grain or seed, hasto fulfil his trust himself and deduct the zakat he owes if the amountis large enough for him to have to pay zakat. This is the positionthat we are all agreed upon here (in Madina)." Malik said,"The position that we are all agreed upon here (in Madina) is that theproduce of date palms is estimated while it is still on the tree,after it has ripened and become halal to sell, and the zakat on it isdeducted in the form of dried dates at the time of harvest. If thefruit is damaged after it has been estimated and the damage affectsall the fruit then no zakat has to be paid. If some of the fruitremains unaffected, and this fruit amounts to five awsuq or more usingthe sa of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, thenzakat is deducted from it. Zakat does not have to be paid, however, onthe fruit that was damaged . Grapevines are dealt with in the sameway. If a man owns various pieces of property in variousplaces, or is a co-owner of various pieces of property in variousplaces, none of which individually comes to a zakatable amount, butwhich, when added together, do come to a zakatable amount, then headds them together and pays the zakat that is due on them ."

Yahya related to me from Malik that he asked Ibn Shihab aboutolives and he said, "There is a tenth on them." Malik said,"The tenth that is taken from olives is taken after they have beenpressed, and the olives must come to a minimum amount of five awsuqand there must be at least five awsuq of olives. If there are lessthan five awsuq of olives, no zakat has to be paid. Olivetrees are like date palms insofar as there is a tenth on whatever iswatered by rain or springs or any natural means, and a twentieth onwhatever is irrigated. However, olives are not estimated while on thetree. The sunna with us as far as grain and seeds which people storeand eat is concerned is that a tenth is taken from whatever has beenwatered by rain or springs or any natural means, and a twentieth fromwhatever has been irrigated, that is, as long as the amount comes tofive awsuq or more using the aforementioned sa, that is, the sa of theProphet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Zakat must be paidon anything above five awsuq according to the amount involved." Malik said, "The kinds of grain and seeds on which there is zakatare: wheat, barley, sult (a kind of barley), sorghum, pearl millet,rice, lentils, peas, beans, sesame seeds and other such grains andseeds which are used for food. Zakat is taken from them after theyhave been harvested and are in the form of grai n or seed." He said,"People are entrusted with the assessment and whatever they hand overis accepted ." Malik was asked whether the tenth or thetwentieth was taken out of olives before they were sold or after andhe said, "The sale is not taken into consideration. It is the peoplewho produce the olives that are asked about the olives, just as it isthe people who produce foodstuffs that are asked about it, and zakatis taken from them by what they say. Someone who gets five awsuq ormore of olives from his olive trees has a tenth taken from the oilafter pressing. Whereas someone who does not get five awsuq from histrees does not have to pay any zakat on the oil." Malik said,"Someone who sells his crops when they are ripe and are ready in thehusk has to pay zakat on them but the one who buys them does not. Thesale of crops is not valid until they are ready in the husk and nolonger need water." Malik said, concerning the word of Allahthe Exalted, "And give its due on the day of its harvesting," that itreferred to zakat, and that he had heard people saying that. Malik said, "If someone sells his garden or his land, on which arecrops or fruit which have not yet ripened, then it is the buyer whohas to pay the zakat. If, however, they have ripened, it is the sellerwho has to pay the zakat, unless paying the zakat is one of theconditions of the sale." Translation Not Available
