Malik said, "The sunna that we are all agreed upon here (inMadina) and which I have heard from the people of knowledge, is thatthere is no zakat on any kind of fresh (soft) fruit, whether it bepomegranates, peaches, figs or anything that is like them or not likethem as long as it is fruit."He continued, "No zakat has tobe paid on animal fodder or herbs and vegetables of any kind, andthere is no zakat to pay on the price realised on their sale until ayear has elapsed over it from the day of sale which counts as the timethe owner receives the sum."
