English translation

1799. It was narrated that Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'There is no Sadaqah on any less than five camels, or for four. If the number of camels reaches five then one sheep must be given, up to nine. If the number reaches ten, then two sheep must be given, up to fourteen. If the number reaches fifteen, then three sheep must be given, up to nineteen. If the number reaches twenty, then four sheep must be given, up to twenty-four. If the number reaches twenty-five, then a Bint Makhâd (a one-year-old she-camel), up to thirty-five; if there is no Bint Makhâd, then a Bin Labun (a two-year-old male camel). If there are more camels, then a bint Labun (two-year-old she-camel) up to forty-five. If there are more camels, then a Hiqqah (a three-year-old she-camel) must be given, up to sixty. If there are more camels, then a Jadhâ'ah (a five-year-old she-camel) must be given, up to seventy-five. If there are more camels, then two Bint Labun must be given, up to ninety. If there are more camels, then two Hiqqah should be given, up to one hundred and twenty. Then for each fifty, one Hiqqah, and for each forty, a Bint Labun.'" (Hasan)

Commentary

Only female camels should be given and taken as Zakât on camels; a two-year-old male camel is allowed to be taken as Zakât if a female camel of one year of age does not exist in the herd, although the real due is a one year-old-female camel. In the case of possessing over one hundred and twenty camels, the camels will be divided into groups of either 40 or 50 and then accordingly two-year-old female camels and three-year-old female camels will be taken as Zakât. A two-year-old female camel is due for a group of 40 camels, and a three-year-old female camel for a group of 50 camels. For example: A herd of 130 camels would be divided into two groups of 40 camels and one group of fifty camels, 130=40+40+50. So one female camel of two years of age is due for each group of forty camels, and one female camel of three years of age is due for the fifty. Similarly, one hundred and forty camels will be divided into three groups as follows; 140=40+50+50; so one two-year-old female camel is due for the forty camels and two three-year-olds are due for the two groups of fifty camels. As one three year old female camel is due for fifty camels, there will be three female camels of three years of age due for possessing one hundred and fifty (50+50+50) camels. Four two-year-old female camels are due in Zakât for one hundred and sixty camels (40+40+40+40), respectively one three years old female is due if the camels are increased by ten (40+10) and became a group of 50. If the number reaches two hundred, then the owner may give four female camels of three years of age, or five female camels of two years of age.
