باب: العَرْضُ فِي الزّكَاة

CHAPTER 21. Zakât may be paid in kind (and not in cash).

732. عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: أَنّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصّديق رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: كَتَبَ لَهُ الّتِي أَمَرَ اللهُ رَسُولَهُ صلى الله عليه وسلم: (وَمَنْ بَلَغَتْ صَدَقَتُهُ بِنْتَ مَخَاضٍ وَلَيْسَتْ عِنْدَهُ, وَعِنْدَهُ بِنْتُ لَبُونٍ, فَإِنّهَا تُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ, وَيُعْطِيهِ المُصَدّقُ عِشْرِينَ دِرْهَمًا أَوْ شَاتَيْنِ, فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ بِنْتُ مَخَاضٍ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا, وَعِنْدَهُ ابْنُ لَبُونٍ, فَإِنّهُ يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ, وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُ شَيْءٌ). رواه البخاري: 1448 732.

Narrated Anas رضى الله عنه : Abu Bakr رضى الله عنه wrote to me what Allâh had instructed His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم to do regarding the one who had to pay one Bint Makhâd (i.e. one year old shecamel) as Zakât, and he did not have it but had got Bint Labun (two year old shecamel). (He wrote that) it could be accepted from him as Zakât, and the collector of Zakât would return him twenty dirhams or two sheep; and if the Zakât payer had not a Bint Makhâd, but he had Ibn Labun (a two year old hecamel) then it could be accepted as his Zakât, but he would not be paid anything. (2:528O.B.) SUBJECTS COVERED
