Zakât is not to be paid for four
camels. The nisâb for camels is five. Five camels are the equivalent
of two hundred dirhams of silver. A person who has five camels
gives one sheep. This means that one sheep is five dirhams
[seventeen grams] of silver. One sheep is to be given for up to nine
(inclusive) camels. A person who has ten to fourteen (inclusive)
camels gives two sheep. Three sheep are to be given for fifteen to
nineteen (inclusive) camels, and four for twenty to twenty-four. For
twenty-five to thirty-five camels a young female camel that is in its
second year is given. For thirty-six to forty-five camels a young
female camel in its third year is given. For forty-six to sixty camels
a female camel that is in its fourth year and which can already carry
a burden is given. A five-year-old camel is given for sixty-one to
seventy-five camels, two three-year-old camels for seventy-six to
ninety camels, and two four year-old camels for ninety-one to

hundred and twenty. A sheep also is given for each five camels over
a hundred and twenty. But when the number becomes a hundred
and forty-five, a two-year-old female camel is added instead of the
sheep. Three four-year-old camels are given for a hundred and fifty
camels. A sheep also is given for each five additional camels. But a
person who has a hundred and seventy-five to a hundred and
eighty-five camels adds a two-year-old female camel instead of the
sheep. For a hundred and eighty-six to a hundred and ninety-five
camels three four-year-old camels and one three-year-old camel
are given. For a hundred and ninety-six to two hundred camels four
four-year-old camels are given. Male camels cannot be given for
zakât. A person who does not have any female camels to give, gives
the value of the male camels in gold or silver. Zakât is not given for
a young camel that has not completed its first year. A person who
has more than two hundred camels repeats the procedure between
a hundred-and-fifty and two hundred for every fifty camels.
