How is the zakah on a salary paid?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the method for paying the zakah on a salary when one part of it has been in possession for a lunar year, while the other part has not yet reached a lunar year?
Answer:
The scholars have mentioned a comfortable solution for this, which is to designate a specific month of the year as your zakah month. You pay the zakah on whatever you have accumulated by that month, whether it has reached a lunar year or not, and you continue this practice until the same month in the following year. By doing so, you will have discharged your obligation, if Allah wills. Yes.
