Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. You ask and say: What is zakah? And is there zakah on the monthly salary?
Answer:
Zakah is one of the pillars of Islam, and it is the companion of prayer. It becomes obligatory on money when it reaches the nisab (the minimum threshold for zakah) and a lunar year has passed over it, whether it is from salaries or from other sources. Whoever owns money that reaches the nisab and a year has passed over it, zakah is obligatory on it, which is one quarter of a tenth, or two and a half percent, of the total. Yes.
