the rate of zakiih on them Amir al-Mu'mineen 'Ali ibn Abi T a b (&) said: "For . .. between five and nine camels, the zak2h is one sheep. If it is one more, then two sheep are due, up to fourteen camels. If it is one more, then three sheep are due, up to nineteen camels. If it is one more, then four sheep are due, up to twenty-four camels. If it is one more, then it is five sheep.l15 If it is one more, then a female camel in its second year or a male camel in its third year is due, up to thirty-five camels. If it is one more, then a female camel in its third year is due, up to forty-five camels. If it is one more, then a female camel in its fourth year is due, up to sixty. If it is one more, then two female camels in their third year are due, up to ninety. If there are many camels, then

'Ali ibn Abi Trilib for each fifty, a female camel in its fourth year must be given, and there should be no joining of separate herds and no separating of joined herds (as a trick to pay less ~ak%).""~
