Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Abdullah from al-Qawiyiyyah asking. He says: I have a sum of money that I have gathered from my salaries and from some generous people, as charity and zakah and other things, and that is for the purpose of marriage. If a lunar year passes over it, is zakah due on it?
Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory if a lunar year passes over it while it is in your possession and it reaches the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) or more, then zakah is due on it, even if you intend it for marriage or for any of your other needs. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
