Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is there zakah on the monthly salary? And how is it estimated and paid? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
If a person spends his salary and has nothing left over from it, he owes no zakah. But if he sets aside an amount from it that reaches the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) and remains in his possession for a lunar year, then zakah is obligatory on it. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Ibn Majah 1792Hasan (Darussalam) Yes.
The questioner:
He asks about the amount of zakah, may Allah preserve you?
The Shaykh:
The amount of zakah is two and a half percent, which is one quarter of the tenth. Yes.
