628. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "There is no charity due from a Muslim for his horse nor his slave." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
There are narrations on this topic from 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr and 'Alī.
Abū 'Eīsā said: The Hadīth of Abū Hurairah is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth.
This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge, there is no charity due on a grazing horse, nor is charity due on a slave which they use as a servant, unless they
are for trade, if they are for trade then Zakāt is due on their price when the Hawl[1] is fulfilled for them.

Commentary
Three A'immah hold the opinion in the light of this Hadīth that the horses are not subject to Zakāt if they are not for trade, and if they are for trade, then according to the four A'immah, they are subject to Zakāt; Imām Abū Yūsuf and Imām Muḥammad are also agreed with the majority. Imām Abū Ḥanīfah says, the horses for breeding purposes are subject to Zakāt, but the opinion of the majority is more accurate. (Mir'āt: 2/44)
