Explanation of Paddy / Staple Food Zakat:
Evidence of Agricultural Zakat
The obligation to pay agricultural zakat is clearly stated in the Quran, which means:
"And He (Allah) is the One who made for you gardens of climbing plants and non-climbing plants, and date palms, and crops of different shapes, tastes, olives, and pomegranates, similar (in kind) and different (in taste). Eat of their fruit when they bear fruit, and pay their due (zakat) on the day of harvest."
(Surah Al-Anam (6): 141)
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said in a hadith
From Salim bin Abdullah from his father RA from the Prophet (PBUH) who said: On crops watered by rain, springs, or ground water, the zakat is one-tenth (10%); and on those irrigated using labor, the zakat is half of one-tenth (5%).
(HR Bukhari)
Note: Farmers have the option to calculate using either the Agricultural Zakat method or the Business Zakat method. Generally, only staple foods are calculated using the Agricultural Zakat method, while other crops will be calculated using the Business Zakat method.

Paddy Zakat Calculation
Paddy zakat must be paid based on a rate of 5% after deducting planting costs borne by the farmer (according to the 6th Fatwa Meeting of Selangor State, 2017).
Example:
Paddy Harvest: 5000 kg X RM1.20 = RM6,000.00 Deduct planting costs: RM1,000.00 Net: RM5,000.00
* Exceeds nisab Total zakat: RM5,000 x 5% = RM250.00
* Exceeds nisab Total zakat: RM5,000 x 5% = RM250.00
