Zakah on a salary saved in the bank

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there zakah on the salary, since I am an employee at the beginning of my career and I am saving this salary in the bank, Honorable Shaykh?

Answer:
Yes, if it reaches the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) or more, and a lunar year has passed over it, then zakah is obligatory on it, even if it is accumulated from a salary, wages, or something else. Yes.
