Ruling 1926 — Alms Tax (Zakat)

Giving zakat is not obligatory on the number of camels between two niṣābs. Therefore, if the number of camels that a person owns is more than the first niṣāb, which is five camels, but it does not reach the second niṣāb, which is ten camels, he must give zakat on only five camels. The same applies to all the other niṣābs.
