The zakah on money set aside for a son's marriage

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Abdullah from Yemen says: I have a sum of money that I have saved to marry off one of my children. Is there any zakah due on it?

Answer:
Yes, until you spend it. As long as you have not spent it, zakah is obligatory on it if a lunar year passes while it remains in your possession. Yes.
