Conditions Necessitating Zakat on Cattle 1- Lapse of a full year while the animals are with the owner due to the Prophet�s statement ?: �There is no Zakah on any property until a year lapses.� [ Source: Ibn Majah] 2- It must be grazed livestock. The Prophet ? said: �Of grazed camels, out of every forty camels a she-camel that is two years old is to be paid.� [ Source : An-Nasai] A grazed camel is that which is fed by eating from plants of the earth and permissible grass i.e. that which grows by Allah�s command without being cultivated by anybody. However, if it feeds on cultivated crops; then it is not regarded as a grazed camel and Zakah is not due on it. 3- It must be kept for some benefit, either from its milk or offspring, and not used as a working camel.
