The Ruling on the Zakah of Money Saved for Marriage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man has saved an amount of money that has reached the nisab (the minimum threshold for zakah) for zakah, but he is unmarried and a bachelor, and he wants to get married with this nisab? A man has saved an amount of money that has reached the nisab, he is a bachelor, but he wants to get married with this amount, and two years have passed,
Answer:
No. Regarding the zakah. He pays the zakah and gets married, and the zakah increases his good. If he gathers money to get married, or to pay off a debt, or to build a residence, and a lunar year has passed over it, he pays the zakah, he includes the zakah, and then he gets married, and the zakah increases his good. He did not get married except with blessing,[At-Tawbah 9:103],

Take, [O, Muhammad], from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause them increase
خُذْ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ صَدَقَةً تُطَهِّرُهُمْ وَتُزَكِّيهِم بِهَا
