Summary
The 32nd Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee (10-11 June 1993) ruled that zakat is not obligatory on deer. Deer also cannot be used as animals for korban or aqiqah. However, if the deer are traded as a business, business zakat applies at the rate of 2.5%.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
