Summary
Harvested Harumanis mangoes fall under agricultural zakat with a nisab of 650kg, measured when the fruit is picked without waiting for ripening, and combined from all orchards owned during the season. Fruit that spoils after maturing is excluded, and farming costs such as fertiliser, wages and land rent may be deducted. Full-time farmers may also deduct living costs based on the kifayah limit. The rate is 5% because the crop requires irrigation effort.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
