The questioner:
With us from Al-Hafar al-Batin is Abu Muhammad. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Your question, Abu Muhammad. And I am the one who told you that I have money on which zakah is due, because I take from it to eat and to support my family and to buy my needs from it. And this is a greeting, and the Shaykh is with me now. Yes, may you live long, the Shaykh is with you. Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, peace be upon you.
The Shaykh:
And upon you be peace.
The questioner:
O Shaykh, may Allah be pleased with you. I have money in the bank, and I take from it to eat for a month or two, sometimes consecutively, and I spend on my dependents. Is there zakah on it or not?
The Shaykh:
My brother, what you spend before the completion of the year on the money has no zakah, but what has completed a year, you give zakah on it. Yes.
