Assessing Value Of Non-Cash Zakatable Items
What is the appropriate time to assess the market value of non-cash zakatable items?
Non-cash zakatable items for which it is decided that cash will be paid should have their market value assessed on the valuation date, not before or after, in order to avoid inaccurate payment caused by price fluctuation (e.g. zakat on stocks is paid as of the valuation date regardless of the rise and fall in price).
