How is zakat on trade goods calculated: Is it estimated by the purchase price or the selling price?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The value to be considered for commercial goods upon the completion of their hawl (one year) is their current value, not the price at which they were bought or at which they will be sold. If the questioner means the of Ashura for these goods, then there is no problem, otherwise, Ashura does not have a specific zakat.
