Zakah on the monthly salary without taking it from the amount that has reached the lunar year
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 19947 )
Q1: Is it permissible to pay zakah on the monthly salary without taking it from the amount that has reached the lunar year, and what is the nisab?
A1 : If one of the two types of currency reaches the nisab and a lunar year has passed over it, its zakah becomes obligatory, which is one-quarter of a tenth. This applies whether it is paid from the principal amount that has reached the lunar year, from the monthly salary, or from the money one has that has not yet reached the lunar year. Once the obligatory zakah due on the wealth is paid, the owner’s liability is discharged, even if the zakah is not paid from the specific balance on which the zakah is due. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
