Hazrat Tawus says that when the wealth of two persons is mixed together, it will not be combined for (the purpose of) zakat.

Hazrat Ibn Jurayj says that I informed Ata about the statement of Tawus, so he said that I also consider this to be correct.

Imam Zuhri states that when one person has twenty goats and another person also has twenty goats, and both persons have the same shepherd who takes them together and brings them back together, then zakat is obligatory on them. (Zakat is due on the combined total of both.)

10797 - Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us from Yazid, the mawla of Salama, who said: The charity camels of Salama would be offered to him, but he would refuse to buy them.

Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that do not purchase the purification of your wealth.

Hazrat Abu Zubair says that I heard Hazrat Jabir saying that when the collector of Zakat comes, then give him your Zakat. And do not buy from him. People say that buy from him. I say that indeed, it now belongs to Allah.

A person asked Hazrat Imam Zuhri whether a man can buy his paid Zakat. He replied: He cannot buy it from the one who received the Zakat, until that person leaves. And after he leaves, he should not buy it until it gets mixed with a large number of goats.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ata that indeed the early companions disliked purchasing items given as Zakat. Hazrat Ata says that if, after you, someone else takes possession of the Zakat, then there is no harm.

Hazrat Zaid bin Aslam narrates from his father that Hazrat Umar gave a horse in charity in the way of Allah and made a Mujahid ride it, or he gave some clothes in charity in the way of Allah. Later, he saw them in the market and intended to buy them back himself, and went to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to ask about this. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Leave it, so that on the Day of Resurrection you may be given its (full) reward.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Aamir narrates that a person gave a horse in charity in the way of Allah. Later, when he saw that horse or its foal being sold in the market and intended to buy it, Hazrat Zubair bin Al-Awwam forbade him from doing so.
