(xii) ١٢١ camels: and above. In this case the person concerned should
either calculate the camels from ٤٠ to ٤٠ and give for each set of forty
camels one camel, which hasentered the third year of its life, or
calculate them from ٥٠ to ٥٠ and give as Zakat, for every ٥٠ camels one
camel, which has entered the ٤th year of its life or he maycalculate

of them and similar is the case with the succeeding taxable limits.
