Zakah on money that decreases every year due to the zakah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If I have money and a lunar year has passed over it, it is obligatory to pay its zakah. However, this money will decrease every year when the zakah is paid. Should I continue paying its zakah until it falls below the nisab, or what should I do?
Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory for you to pay its zakah every year as long as it reaches the nisab. If it falls below the nisab, there is no zakah on it. However, you should not keep it stagnant; rather, you should move it in trade so that the zakah does not consume it. Move it in trade and grow it. But in any case, if you are lazy and do not move it, the zakah is not dropped; it remains obligatory until it falls below the nisab. Yes.
