The Ruling on the Zakah of Students' Monthly Stipends
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a student who says: I ask you, Honorable Shaykh (may Allah preserve you), in this program, about the students who receive a monthly stipend. Is there zakah on this monthly stipend? If the amount they have gathered reaches the nisab (the minimum threshold for zakah) or more, and a lunar year of possession has passed over it, then the zakah is obligatory. As for what was spent and gone before the completion of its year, nothing is required of them.
Answer:
Yes.
