LessonsMiscellaneous Zakat Rules: Substitutes, Value, Grazing and the Zakat YearQuiz

وَالسَّائِمَةُ هِيَ الَّتِي تَكْتَفِي بِالرَّعْيِ فِي أَكْثَرِ الْحَوْلِ، فَإِنْ عَلَفَهَا نِصْفَ الْحَوْلِ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ: فَلَا زَكَاةَ فِيهَا.
Translation: A grazing animal is one that subsists by grazing for most of the year. If its owner feeds it for half the year or more, no grazing-livestock zakat is due.

Sa’imah livestock meet their feeding needs through grazing for more than half the year. If the owner provides feed for half the year or longer, they are not subject to this special grazing-livestock levy.

This qualification concerns the livestock category, not the separate treatment of animals held as trading inventory.
