The Ruling on the Zakah of the Monthly Salary
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Salih, may Allah preserve you and bless you. A listener says: I am an employee, and I was not aware of the zakah on the monthly salary. I am now retired after twenty-seven years of service. How do I calculate the zakah?
Answer:
If you have money that reaches the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) and a lunar year has passed over it, it is obligatory to pay its zakah. Even if the time has passed and you did not pay it, this does not exempt you from the zakah; you must pay it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
