ZAKAH.. [Obligatory Charity] - Sundry Masail

Question 420) - I do not understand. Please explain by way of an example.

A: Ponder over this example carefully. A man has 9 camels over which a complete year has passed. 4 then were destroyed' He must pay a complete sheep, just as if there had been no excess over 5. Thedestroyed 4 are overlooked as normal excess in which Zakah in not paid until the camels reach 10. This is according to Imaam Abu Hanifa RAH. and Imaam Abu Yusuf RAH.

According to Imaam Muhammed RAH. and Imaam Zufar RAH. he has to pay S-ninths of a sheep. They have spread the wajib across the 9 camels and proportionately decreased the loss over the nine.

A second example: A man has 80 goats of which 40 were destroyed after the year. According to Imaam Abu Hanifa RAH. and Imaam Abu yusuf RAH. a sheep is due on the remainder. According to the others, a half sheep.
lf 60 were destroyed then a half is due according to Imaam Abu Hanifa RAH. and Imaam Abu Yusuf RAH. and a quarter according to the others. [See Fathul Qadir, al-'Inayah and al-Jawharah an-Nayyirah]
