such as peaches, plums (11), pears, apples, apricots (12), figs, and walnuts. There is no Zakah on vegetables, such as pumpkin, cucumbers, eggplant, turnips, and carrots. This is the opinion of Ata regarding all grains, and a similar view is held by Abu Yusuf and Muhammad, for they both stated: Nothing is due on what the earth produces unless it has a durable fruit, the measure of which reaches five wasqs. Abu Abd Allah ibn Hamid said: There is nothing due on spices, seeds, or the seeds of garden herbs. Perhaps he does not obligate Zakah except on what is a staple food or condiment (13), because there is no text regarding other than that, nor is it analogous to what has been explicitly mentioned; thus, it remains upon the original presumption of negation (lack of obligation). Malik and al-Shafi'i stated: There is no Zakah on fruit except for dates and raisins, nor on grain except for that which is a staple food in the state of choice for that, except for olives, regarding which there is a difference of opinion. It is narrated from Ahmad: except on wheat, barley, dates, and raisins. This is the opinion of Ibn Umar, Musa ibn Talha (14), al-Hasan, Ibn Sirin, al-Sha'bi, al-Hasan ibn Salih, Ibn Abi Layla, Ibn al-Mubarak, and Abu Ubayd. Al-sult is a type of barley. Ibrahim agreed with them and added sorghum. Ibn Abbas agreed with them and added olives; because there is no text or consensus regarding what is other than this, nor is it analogous to that which is mentioned or that which there is consensus upon, so it remains upon the original state. Amr ibn Shu'ayb reported from his father, from Abdullah ibn Umar, that he said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) only legislated Zakah (15) on wheat, barley, dates, and raisins. And in a narration from his father, from his grandfather, from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), that he said: "And the tithe is on dates
(11) Al-ijjass: In Syria, Palestine, and Sinai, it refers to pears and their trees, while in Egypt it used to refer to plums and their fruit. (12) Al-mishmish: A word where the letter mim may be pronounced with fatha, damma, or kasra. (13) Al-udm: Whatever is used to make bread palatable.
