Zakah on the truck that is used for transporting commodities

Q: I have a truck for carrying vegetables that I sell in markets; should I pay Zakah (obligatory charity) on this truck?


A: Zakah is not due on the truck that is used for transporting commodities. It is obligatory on the commercial commodities if one Hawl (one lunar year calculated from the time a property reaches the minimum amount upon which Zakah is due) passed and the commercial commodities reached the Nisab (the minimum amount on which Zakah is due).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
