A question regarding zakah for one who works in an institution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Please proceed.
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.
The questioner : And peace be upon you. I work in an institution and I do not receive from my salary except the amount for expenses. Is zakah due on the remaining amount? I receive it in zakah, but the lunar year does not complete for the last month.
The Shaykh : If the time for zakah arrives, pay the zakah, otherwise you will not be safe. Yes, or rather, the lunar year does not complete for it, meaning like the last month? Because tracking the completion of the lunar year is difficult to manage, so it is easier and lighter for you if the time for zakah arrives to pay the zakah on whatever you have, absolutely, whether a year has passed or not.
The questioner : Thank you, O
The Shaykh : Shaykh.
