Assessment of Trade Goods for Zakat
If someone wants to pay the zakat on their commercial store, should they pay the zakat based on the market price of the goods or the cost price?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: The zakat for trade goods in his store is calculated based on their value, which is usually the cost price, not the selling price, and God knows best.
