Scholars differ on the ruling concerning the zakat on fruits like figs. The majority opinion is that it is not obligatory, while others hold that it is. If an individual's share among those sharing in the crop does not reach the nisab (minimum threshold), then zakat is not obligatory upon them according to the majority, even if the entire crop reaches the nisab, provided that the cultivation is for personal use and not for trade.
