❓ Frequently asked questions

Why not a percentage?

The Sunnah fixes specific animals per head-count bands (e.g. 1 sheep for 40–120 sheep).

Does stall-fed cattle count?

Many scholars restrict these schedules to grazing (sa’imah) herds; farmed animals are treated differently.

Mixed sheep and goats?

They are counted together as one class in the classical manuals.
