The Zakah on a Salary Saved Over Several Years
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Muhammad from Jeddah. He says: What is the ruling on the zakah of the salary, given that I have been in my job for more than twenty years and have not paid zakah on this salary?
Answer:
If you have savings from your salary and a lunar year has passed over them, then zakah is obligatory on them if they reach the nisab (minimum threshold) or more. However, since savings vary from month to month and you do not track the start of the year, you should designate a specific time of the year to pay the zakah on what has accumulated with you. This will serve as the basis for your accountability, if Allah wills. Yes.
