What is the ruling of Islamic Sharia on entering into a partnership for raising livestock, where: the farmer bears all the expenses of raising the animals except for the initial purchase price, and the selling price is divided equally after deducting the purchase price of the adult animal? And in the event of an animal's death, both parties bear the loss of its purchase price and the cost of its feed? Is Zakat obligatory on these livestock if 90% of them are fed? And what is the ruling on Zakat for money and livestock that have not yet been divided among the heirs?
It is permissible to give livestock to someone who will raise and care for them in exchange for a known share of them (such as a quarter or a half), or a share of their offspring, or a share in the increase of their price and offspring. If an animal dies without negligence or transgression on the part of the farmer, then he is not liable for anything. If the livestock do not graze on permissible pasture, then on livestock is not obligatory for them. Rather, Zakat on trade is obligatory if they are for trade, reach the , and a hawl (full lunar year) passes over them. Zakat is calculated on the value of the owner's share when the hawl passes. If the heirs agree for the wealth to remain undivided, then Zakat is calculated based on the total number of livestock.
