Is the zakat on trade goods calculated at cost price or at selling price?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Commercial goods are assessed for purposes at the end of the year at their selling price, whether this price is higher or lower than the purchase price. The assessment is made using the selling price that the merchant normally uses (wholesale or retail) at the time zakat becomes due.
