The Nisaab for Camels

It should be remembered that zakaat becomes fard on five camels. If a person possesses less than five camels, zakaat will not be fard . In order to understand the zakaat on camels easily, the following table should be consulted:

1. If the number of camels is more than 200, the same method of calculation as has been followed from 150 onwards should be continued.

2. If a person possesses camels and gives a camel as zakaat, then this camel which he is giving as zakaat will have to be a female camel. However, if a male camel is of the same value as that of a female camel, it will be permissible to give a male camel.
