Q: Consider a home business... Now and then I bake and sell some cakes etc. Please advise on zakaat. I don't have "stock" on hand...I only have ingredients, the product I am selling needs to be "made".
1.Can I pay zakaat from my cash earnings only or do I have to calculate the value of any of my ingredients and pay as well?
2. If I also have to pay on the value of any ingredients, how do I go about it? It will be very hard to calculate as I use these ingredients for my normal household use as well, it is only some of it that is used in the cakes I will sell.
A: If it is bought primarily for home use then you will not add it to your zakaat calculation.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
