Distributing Zakah Money: The Lunar Year for New Assets and the Best Time for Payment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: How do I distinguish between zakah money that has reached its lunar year and new money, and what is the best time to pay it?
Answer:
If you have funds coming in from your salaries or income, if these incomes are profits, they follow the ruling of the capital; they follow the capital. But if they are not profits, but rather salaries and rewards, then you set aside a month of the year, such as Ramadan, and you pay the zakah on everything you have, whether its lunar year has completed or not, up to Ramadan of the following year, and your obligation is thereby discharged, if Allah wills.
