Giving dead stock as zakaat
Question
Can a person give dead stock as zakaah?
Answer
It has been encouraged that you give that which is enjoyed and liked by you. Avoid giving redundant and dead stock. The obligation may be fulfilled, but obviously this will not fetch you the virtue and reward that you desire.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
