Is Zakat al-'Ain (asset Zakat) due on livestock if the value reaches the Nisab for livestock but not the Nisab for trade Zakat, and the Hawl passes?
Chapter on Zakat on Trade Merchandise
Al-Mughni
Book of Zakat
Primary text
If the livestock meets the Nisab for valuation (Sumum) but not the Nisab for trade, and the Hawl passes, the Zakat of the asset itself (Zakat al-'Ain) is obligatory without dispute, as there is no conflicting obligation, and thus it is due, similar to when the asset is not intended for trade.
