LessonsZakat on Sheep and Goats: Brackets, Liability, and DischargeQuiz

فَإِذَا كَانَتْ أَرْبَعِينَ شَاةً سَائِمَةً، وَحَالَ عَلَيْهَا الْحَوْلُ: فَفِيهَا شَاةٌ إِلَى مِائَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ.
Translation: When there are forty grazing sheep or goats and their year has passed, one animal is due up to one hundred and twenty.

For every qualifying count from 40 through 120, the required zakat is one sheep or goat. The term shāh is broad, and the final clause of the passage expressly equates sheep and goats within this zakat category.

Counts such as 40, 75, 100 and 120 all incur one animal under this bracket. An additional animal becomes due only when the next threshold is crossed.
