Question:
We seek help from Allah. May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: The merchant whose wealth fluctuates between rising and falling throughout the year, and he is a merchant, what is the method for paying the zakah on his wealth?
Answer:
At the end of the year, he calculates what he has at the end of the year. If the lunar year has completed, he takes what he has, calculates it, and pays one-quarter of one-tenth. As for what was lost, spent, or gone before the completion of the year, there is no zakah on it. There is no zakah on wealth until the lunar year has passed over it. Yes.
