Question
Is the benefit derived from grazing livestock during the year included in the threshold?
Answer
Yes, the gains from grazing livestock during the year are added to the threshold of their kind; because the obligation of zakat is considered on the gains with the year that has passed on the original amount. So, if someone has two hundred dirhams and a year has passed on them, and in the middle of the year he has gained one hundred dirhams, he adds the one hundred to the two hundred. See: Fath Bab al-Ianaya 1: 505.
