The Duty of a Person owns Quadruplet Grains in Several Cities
Issue No. 1609- If a person owns wheat, barley, palm-dates and grapes in different cities where the time of ripening of crops and fruits is different from one another and all of them are considered to be the product of one and the same year, and if the product which ripens first reaches the taxable limit, he should pay zakāt on it at the time of its ripening and should pay zakāt on the remaining products when they become available. And if the thing which ripens first does not reach the taxable limit, he should wait until the other fruits/grains ripen. Hence, if they reach the taxable limit collectively, payment of zakāt on them is obligatory.
