The zakah on money kept in a bank account for the salary

The questioner:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I have an amount of money in my account. He says: Is there zakah on the amount in the bank account that is set aside for the salary?

The Shaykh:
Set aside.

The questioner:
For the salary, set aside for the salary, meaning the salary is deposited into it?

The Shaykh:
Yes, you owe zakah, because if you have money available to you, whether it is dirhams from the salary or from other sources, if you have dirhams available, zakah becomes obligatory on them. However, since the salary comes monthly, some of it has reached the lunar year of possession and some has not, and it is difficult for you to calculate everything according to its own lunar year, you should set a specific time in the year, such as the month of Ramadan, to pay the zakah on what has accumulated in your balance. By doing this, you are absolved of your obligation: what has reached its lunar year is paid at its proper time, and what has not reached its lunar year is considered early payment of zakah. Early payment of zakah is permissible for a pressing need. Yes.
