Timing the Payment of Zakah on a Salary
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, we conclude with a question from our brother Abdullah Ibrahim. He says: Regarding the zakah on my salary that I accumulate in the bank, how do I pay it? Is it monthly?
Answer:
Set a specific time of the year in which you pay the zakah on the savings you have accumulated, up to the same time in the following year. This clears your conscience regarding what has completed a lunar year and what has not by that time. There is no option for people, employees, and those with monthly incomes except to do this: to set a time of the year, such as the month of Ramadan, as the deadline for paying the zakah on the balances they have accumulated.
