The zakah of an employee's salary and how to calculate the nisab
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I am an employee, and I have completed one year in my job. Is there any zakah due on my salary? And if there is zakah, how is the nisab for zakah calculated on the salary?
Answer:
The employee who saves something from his salary should set a specific time in the year, such as Ramadan, and pay zakah on what he has that has completed a lunar year, as well as on what has not yet completed a year until it reaches that same time in the following year. This is easier for him, and it ensures he has paid what is obligatory upon him. This is the key to the matter now, and people have no choice but this regarding employees; they have no option but this. He sets a specific time in the year and pays the zakah on what has accumulated with him.
