The ruling on the zakah of the increase in wealth before the completion of the lunar year
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. I have a sum of money that has reached the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah). One month before the completion of the lunar year, the initial amount increased. Do I have to pay the zakah on the initial amount alone, or together with the second amount?
Answer:
If the increase is profit from the initial capital, it follows it; the zakah is paid on the whole, even if the increase is late, because its lunar year is the lunar year of the capital. However, if the increase is not profit from this capital but is another sum of money, then zakah is not obligatory on it until a lunar year has passed over it, meaning a lunar year has completed over the increase. Unless he wishes to hasten its zakah, in which case hastening is permissible. The obligation, however, does not arise until the completion of the lunar year of the capital. Yes.
