The Ruling on the Zakah of a Salary That Is Renewed Monthly
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: My salary is accumulated, and I have accumulated fourteen thousand riyals over three years. How do I pay its zakah? Do I pay zakah on the entire amount or on part of it? Knowing that it increases every month.
Answer:
Yes, you pay zakah on the total amount you have accumulated at the end of the year. You pay one-quarter of a tenth of everything you have accumulated. However, if the money is renewed every month and a sum comes in, the safest course is to set a specific time in the year, such as the month of Ramadan, to pay zakah on everything you have that has completed a lunar year, and on what has not completed a lunar year, you defer it to the same time in the following year. May Allah reward you.
