There is a difference of opinion regarding on honey. Abu Hanifa and Ahmad are of the view that it is obligatory. Its (minimum taxable amount) according to the Hanbalis is ten afraq (approximately 75.2 kg), while the Hanafis deem it obligatory on both small and large quantities of honey. Both schools of thought agree that what is due on it is one-tenth.
