Summary
The zakat rate on paddy is 10% once the harvest reaches the nisab, after deducting management and maintenance costs. The MAINPP Zakat Management Centre was asked to prepare guidelines on the cost rate. Subsidies received for the crop are subject to zakat at 2.5% as acquired wealth (wang mustafad).
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kadar zakat tanaman padi ialah 10% jika sampai nisab setelah ditolak kos penyelenggaraan pengurusan.
