Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
You are probably referring to the concept of Ushr through the 10% and 5% proceeds of the crops. If so, inform us which country you are referring to and is Ushr payable there.
Also, enlighten us if you farm and grow your crops with the intention of tijārat (business) or not? You may email your response to admin@daruliftaa.net titled “Clarification on Ushr Query”.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
