Zakat
Sheep and goats less than ------------ are Zakat free.
Explanation and memory cue
According to Islamic jurisprudence, the nisab (minimum threshold) for zakat on sheep and goats is 40 heads. If the number of sheep and goats is less than 40, no zakat is due. Once the number reaches 40, zakat becomes obligatory, starting with one sheep or goat for 40 to 120 animals, increasing with larger numbers. Therefore, sheep and goats less than 40 are zakat free, making option D (40) the correct answer.
