Zakah on money received in installments
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: Your Excellency the Shaykh, I have money that was received by me in two or three installments on different dates, and I want to pay its zakah. How is that to be done?
The Shaykh:
Yes, this applies to the employee who saves something from his salary every month. He cannot do anything but set a specific time in the year to pay the zakah on what has accumulated with him, both that on which the zakah has become due and that on which it has not yet become due—meaning that on which a lunar year has passed and that on which it has not—and he pays it in advance for the equivalent amount in the coming year. By doing this, his conscience is cleared, and he achieves ease in paying the zakah. This is the practice currently in place, and this is the ruling. Yes. Allah. Important.
The presenter:
Allah, Allah, Allah.
The Shaykh:
Sleeping. You, Muhammad.
