بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم Q: My question is about zakat for shops, like book stores, general stores, medical stores etc. First question is, Zakat is payable on inventory in the shop or income of the shop?? Secondly, if it is on inventory or "goods for sale" which goes up n down every month plus it is not possible to calculate the exact value of items then how to give zakat? I am follower of fiqh Hanafi, so please guide me from that school of thoughts with reference. Thanks
