Yahya related to me from Malik that he asked Ibn Shihab about
olives and he said, "There is a tenth on them."


Malik said,
"The tenth that is taken from olives is taken after they have been
pressed, and the olives must come to a minimum amount of five awsuq
and there must be at least five awsuq of olives. If there are less
than five awsuq of olives, no zakat has to be paid.


Olive
trees are like date palms insofar as there is a tenth on whatever is
watered by rain or springs or any natural means, and a twentieth on
whatever is irrigated. However, olives are not estimated while on the
tree. The sunna with us as far as grain and seeds which people store
and eat is concerned is that a tenth is taken from whatever has been
watered by rain or springs or any natural means, and a twentieth from
whatever has been irrigated, that is, as long as the amount comes to
five awsuq or more using the aforementioned sa, that is, the sa of the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Zakat must be paid
on anything above five awsuq according to the amount involved."


Malik said, "The kinds of grain and seeds on which there is zakat
are:
Malik was asked whether the tenth or the
twentieth was taken out of olives before they were sold or after and
he said, "The sale is not taken into consideration. It is the people
who produce the olives that are asked about the olives, just as it is
the people who produce foodstuffs that are asked about it, and zakat
is taken from them by what they say. Someone who gets five awsuq or
more of olives from his olive trees has a tenth taken from the oil
after pressing. Whereas someone who does not get five awsuq from his
trees does not have to pay any zakat on the oil."
