Is zakat due on olive oil received as payment for harvesting olives, and if so, how much?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
is not obligatory for the worker if his wage is a known quantity of oil because he acquired ownership of the oil after the obligation of Zakat became due on it. Zakat becomes obligatory on oils when they turn black or are close to doing so, and it is due from their original owner.
