630. ‘Ubaidullāh bin ‘Umar narrated that Nāfi’ said: “‘Umar bin ‘Abdul-‘Azīz asked me about charity due on honey, so I said to him: ‘We do not have honey that we could give charity from, but Al-Mughīrah bin Ḥākīm informed us that he (ﷺ) said: ‘There is no charity due on honey.’ So ‘Umar said: ‘That is fair enough for me.’ So he wrote to the people that it be lifted, meaning (the duty of paying it) from them.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
٦٣٠ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ قَالَ: «سَأَلَنِي» عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ صَدَقَةِ الْعَسَلِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: مَا عِنْدَنَا عَسَلٌ نَتَصَدَّقُ مِنْهُ، وَلَكِنْ أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَيْسَ فِي الْعَسَلِ صَدَقَةٌ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: عَدْلٌ مَرْضِيٌّ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَى النَّاسِ أَنْ تُوضَعَ - يَعْنِي عَنْهُمْ.

Imām Ibn Al-Mundhir stated that according to the majority the Zakāt is not levied on honey, Imām Mālik, Ash-Shāfi’i and Ath-Thawri also hold the same opinion. In the view of Imām Aḥmad and Iṣhāq one tenth is due on honey as Zakāt. (Tuhfat Al-Aḥwadhī: 3/8)
