Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that the Boer goat farming project is subject to business zakat. Once the haul is complete, all goats are valued. If the value reaches the nisab, zakat of 2.5 percent is paid in Malaysian Ringgit based on the total value.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Apabila cukup haul perniagaan, hendaklah dinilai harga semua kambing yang ada dan jika cukup nisab hendaklah dikeluarkan zakat sebanyak 2.5 % dalam bentuk Ringgit Malaysia (RM) daripada harga keseluruhan.
