  "account": "The Saudi Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority has revealed steps for individuals to pay livestock, grain, and fruit zakat online and receive an electronic certificate. A follower inquired about paying livestock zakat (camels) for their father and requested an invoice with his name for the certificate. The authority responded through its Ask Zakat, Tax and Customs account on X, informing individuals that they can pay zakat on livestock, grains, and fruits via the electronic services at http://zat.ca/8GzyUL.\n\nTo determine the required zakat, users can utilize the Zakat Calculator and select the type of zakat they wish to calculate. However, it is essential to note that if zakat for livestock, grains, or fruits is paid without registering an account, the individual will not be able to obtain a zakat certificate or track their paid invoices. To receive a zakat certificate and monitor invoices, users must register an account through the link http://zat.ca/jzTcJi.",
