Question:
I have fruit trees in my back garden which are not for business. Is there any Zakaat on them?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
One does not have to pay Zakāt or ῾Ushr on fruit bearing trees in one’s garden.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
