Zakat of Camels

قَالا فِي صَدَقَةِ الْإِبِلِ فِي كُلِّ خَمْسٍ شَاةٌ إِلَى أَنْ تَبْلُغَ خَمْساً وَ عِشْرِينَ فَإِذَا بَلَغَتْ ذَلِكَ فَفِيهَا ابْنَةُ مَخَاضٍ‌[2] ثُمَّ لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَيْ‌ءٌ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ خَمْساً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ فَإِذَا بَلَغَتْ خَمْساً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ فَفِيهَا ابْنَةُ لَبُونٍ ثُمَّ لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَيْ‌ءٌ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ خَمْساً وَ أَرْبَعِينَ فَإِذَا بَلَغَتْ خَمْساً وَ أَرْبَعِينَ‌ فَفِيهَا حِقَّةٌ طَرُوقَةُ الْفَحْلِ

“Abu Ja‘far, and abu ’Abd Allah, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, have said that the amount of Zakat on camel is one sheep for every five camels, until they number twenty-five in which case it is one Ibnatu Makhad. Thereafter there is no increase in Zakat until the number reaches thirty-five, in which case Zakat is one Ibnatu Labun.

فِي خَمْسِ قَلَائِصَ شَاةٌ[3] وَ لَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ الْخَمْسِ شَيْ‌ءٌ وَ فِي عَشْرٍ شَاتَانِ وَ فِي خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ ثَلَاثُ شِيَاهٍ وَ فِي عِشْرِينَ أَرْبَعٌ وَ فِي خَمْسٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ خَمْسٌ وَ فِي سِتٍّ وَ عِشْرِينَ بِنْتُ مَخَاضٍ إِلَى خَمْسٍ وَ ثَلَاثِينَ. وَ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا فَرْقٌ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فَإِذَا زَادَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ فَفِيهَا بِنْتُ لَبُونٍ إِلَى خَمْسٍ وَ أَرْبَعِينَ فَإِذَا زَ

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan all from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn af-Hajjaj who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘On five Qala’is (young she camel) Zakat is one sheep and Zakat is not due on less than five camels.

لَيْسَ فِي صِغَارِ الْإِبِلِ شَيْ‌ءٌ حَتَّى يَحُولَ عَلَيْهَا الْحَوْلُ مِنْ يَوْمِ تُنْتَجُ‌[2].

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘Zakat is not due on camel’s young until one year passes from the day they are born.” (The following chapter seems to be the words of the compiler (rh))
