Summary
The Penang Fatwa Committee meeting set the farmers' zakat rate at the figure shown in the OCR text of the decision, 1096, with an allowance for living expenses. Land rent, fertiliser and pesticide costs, ploughing and harvesting costs, related wages and unexpected deductions are subtracted. The rate figure may be inaccurate because the text comes from an OCR scan.
