The answer

Selling livestock before the hawl (one lunar year) has two scenarios:

1. Selling due to need without intending to evade zakat: A new hawl begins for the money received from the sale, because replacing money with a different type of asset severs the hawl.

2. Selling with the intention of evading zakat: The sale is valid, and a new hawl begins for the money received from it. There is a difference of opinion regarding the obligation of zakat in this case. According to the view that holds zakat obligatory, it is to be paid from the same type of livestock after the hawl.
