on olives is obligatory according to most scholars if the amount reaches five wasqs of its fruit. Zakat is taken as oil after pressing if it is not stored as fruit; otherwise, it is taken from its fruit. The obligatory amount is one-tenth if it is irrigated by rainwater, and one-half of one-tenth if it is irrigated with effort (cost). If the harvested amount does not reach the minimum threshold (), there is no zakat, unless a year has passed on its price. It is permissible to give zakat in cash if the interest (maslahah) dictates it.
