Question
A person owns a game farm. In the hunting season people hunt and are charged a fee. Will the animals be regarded as goods of trade thereby making Zakaat compulsory? Will it make a difference if it is bought not for trade, however, thereafter an intention of trade is made?
Answer
The whole game farm is haraam. It is not permissible to hunt for sport. It is haraam to charge a fee to commit a haraam act. The income is haraam, hence Waajibut Tasadduq. The money must be given away as Sadqah. Zakaat is not applicable to haraam wealth.
