Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I have two accounts in the bank. In one, I put a quarter of my salary, and from it I spend on myself and my family. In the second account, I put the rest of my salary, and it remains fixed, and I do not spend anything from it. The question is: Honorable Shaykh, from which of the two accounts is the zakah paid?
Answer:
From both of them. When the lunar year has passed, you total your money in the bank and pay zakah on it, which is one-quarter of a tenth. Yes.
