1800. Anas bin Mâlik narrated that Abu Bakr Siddiq wrote to him: "In the Name of Allâh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. This is the obligation of Sadaqah which the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ enjoined upon the Muslims, as Allâh commanded the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. The ages of camels to be given (in Zakât) may be made up in sheep. So if a man has camels on which the Sadaqah is a Jadha'ah (a four-year-old she-camel), and he does not have a Jadha'ah but he has a Hiqqah (a three-year-old she-camel), then the Hiqqah should be accepted from him, and two sheep should be given (in addition), if they are readily available, or twenty Dirham. If a man has camels on which the Sadaqah is a Hiqqah, and he only has a Bint Labun (a two-year-old she-camel), then the Bint Labun should be accepted from him, along with two sheep or twenty Dirhams. If a man has camels on which the Sadaqah is a Bint Labun, and he does not have one, but he has a Hiqqah, then it should be accepted from him, and the Zakât collector should give him back twenty Dirham or two sheep. If a man has camels on which the Sadaqah is a Bint Labun, and he does not have one, but he has a Bint Makhâd (a one-year-old she-camel), then the Bint Makhâd should be accepted from him, along with twenty Dirham or two sheep. If a man has camels on which the Sadaqah is a Bint Makhâd, and he does not have one, but he has a Bint Labun, then the Bint Labun should be accepted from him, and the Zakât collector should give him back twenty Dirhams or two sheep. Whoever does not have a Bint Makhâd, but he has a Bint Labun (a two-year-old male camel), then it should be accepted from him and nothing else need be given along with it." (Sahih)

a. The ages of female camels given in Zakât due on camels are of the following:(a): Bint Makhâdh, i.e., one-year-old; (b): Bint Laboon, i.e., two-year-old; (c):Hiqah, i.e., three-year-old and (d): Jadh'ah, i.e., four-year-old. b. Only female camels are accepted for Zakât; however a two year old male camel may be taken in Zakât in replacement of a one-year-old female camel if such is not available.
