Question:It can be difficult to determine the exact quantity of dates obtained. Is it permissible to estimate and round off to determine the weight of the dates and pay Zakat accordingly?

Answer:In the name of Allah, this is not sufficient. It is necessary to know the exact quantity of dates in order to pay the complete Zakat. However, if one estimates and pays more than what may be the actual amount of Zakat, it will fulfill the obligation, and this excess payment will serve as an act of atonement. Allah knows best.

Question:If I have date palm trees in different locations, and the zakat threshold is not reached in any single location, but the total quantity may reach the threshold when combined, is zakat obligatory, or is it waived?

Answer:In the name of Allah, you should calculate the total yield of your date palm trees in the various locations. If the total quantity reaches the zakat threshold, then you are obligated to pay both zakat and khums. Otherwise, you would only be required to pay khums. Allah knows best.
