Summary
Paddy zakat is obligatory based on the yield obtained, without deducting any costs borne by the paddy farmer. The paddy coupon money is treated as a government subsidy given as an incentive, and zakat must be paid on it if it reaches the nisab. The rates stated in the gazette text are unclear because the scanned text is imperfect.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Wang kupon padi adalah di kira sebagai subsidi iaitu sebagai penggalak dari kerajaan dan wajib dikeluarkan zakat
