Zakah on wealth is obligatory every year, and it increases or decreases as the wealth increases or decreases

Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. From the Holy City of Madinah, a message was sent by a listener named Mustafa Jawada Muhammad Mustafa. He says: I would like to know from your eminence about the following issue: A person pays zakah on his wealth for a year, and this amount was, for example, ten thousand riyals, and he paid his obligatory zakah. So, does he pay zakah again the following year, or if the amount increased, for example, by two thousand riyals, and became twelve thousand, does he pay zakah only on the two thousand? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
He pays zakah on it every year, and if it increases, the zakah increases accordingly, because he pays one-fourth of a tenth of the amount present each year. He pays one-fourth of a tenth, which is two and a half percent, of the amount present each year, whether it is small and reaches the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) or large; it is one-fourth of a tenth. Yes.
