Including the Benefit from Grazing Livestock in the Year

Question
Is the benefit derived from grazing livestock during the year included in the threshold?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The gains from grazing livestock during the year are added to the threshold of the same 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, and God knows best.
