The answer

If partners divide the crop and each individual's share does not reach the minimum taxable amount (nisab) on its own, then there is no zakat due on them. Zakat becomes obligatory if the share of each one reaches the nisab. This is the view held by the majority of scholars, as they are considered like individuals in the ruling of zakat.
