Summary
For paddy that reaches the nisab and relies only on rainwater, rivers or existing drains, the zakat rate is 10%. The calculation allows deductions for land rental (excluding one's own field), fertiliser and pesticide, ploughing and harvesting, related wages, living expenses if there is no other income, and an unforeseen loss deduction of one quarter. Paddy subsidies are not the price of paddy and must not be added to it when calculating zakat. The existing nisab weight measure is retained until the zakat body's study is presented again.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Subsidi padi bukan harga padi dan tidak boleh dicampur subsidi dengan harga padi untuk kiraan kutipan zakat biji-bijian (dalam kategori al-Mal al-Mustafad)
