SHAFAQNA – The Grand Ayatollah Makarem answered a question about Zakat.
Question: When is the time when Zakat becomes Wajib for grapes, raisins, and dates?
The Grand Ayatollah Makarem: The time of Zakat for grapes and raisins is when the fruits are ripe and they are considered/classified as grapes. Also for dates, it is the time when dates are ripe and ready to eat. But the time for Zakat payment for dates and raisins are when they are dried; unless they are for wet consumption which Zakat must be payed, on the condition that the dry ones reach minimum level (for Zakat).
