6959. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: Sa'd bin 'Ubāda Al-Anṣārī sought the verdict of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ regarding a vow made by his mother who had died before fulfilling it. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Fulfil it on her behalf." Some people said, "If the number of camels reaches twenty, then their owner has to pay four sheep as Zakāt; and if their owner gives them as a gift or sells them in order to escape the payment of Zakāt cunningly before the completion of a year, then he is not to pay anything, and if he slaughters them and then dies, then no Zakāt is to be taken from his property."

6959 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: اسْتَفْتَى سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فِي نَذْرٍ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّهِ، تُوُفِّيَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقْضِيَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اقْضِهِ عَنْهَا» وَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ: «إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الإِبِلُ عِشْرِينَ فَفِيهَا أَرْبَعُ شِيَاهٍ، فَإِنْ وَهَبَهَا قَبْلَ الحَوْلِ أَوْ بَاعَهَا فِرَارًا وَاحْتِيَالًا لِإِسْقَاطِ الزَّكَاةِ، فَلاَ شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ، وَكَذَلِكَ إِنْ أَتْلَفَهَا فَمَاتَ، فَلاَ شَيْءَ فِي مَالِهِ»
