Ushr & livestock zakat

Ushr on crops and zakat on cattle, buffalo, goats and sheep — according to Hanafi fiqh. For zakat on cash, gold, silver and business, use the Zakat .

Maund, kg or any unit — the ushr will be shown in the same unit.

How did the land get its water?

If given, the ushr's equivalent value in Taka is also shown.

According to Imam Abu Hanifa (rah.), ushr has no minimum quantity (nisab) and cultivation costs are not deducted; according to the Sahibayn, there is no ushr on a harvest below 5 wasq (about 653 kg). Ushr becomes due at harvest — the one-year condition does not apply. Check with a scholar for your type of land.

Ushr is due only once on the same crop. But money you keep from selling the crop is like your other cash — at the end of your zakat year it goes into the zakat calculator under the normal rules. Crops kept for your own food carry no separate zakat.
