Zakah on Delayed Salaries
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) that were delayed at the government office or elsewhere for more than a year? Is there zakah on them if they are paid to me later?
Answer:
The amounts due and the amounts collected do not require zakah until you receive them. If you receive them, you pay zakah on them. Before that, you do not have control over them, and you do not know whether they will come or not. You owe no zakah on them until you receive them. Once you receive them, you pay zakah on them. Yes.
