Zakah on Monthly Salaries
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. The brother Abu 'Ammar asks, Shaykh, about the zakah on monthly salaries: what is the method if they are accumulated in the bank over the course of the year?
Answer:
The default ruling for wealth, once it reaches the nisab or more, is that it is obligatory to pay its zakah when the lunar year of possession is completed. However, the employee who saves an amount from each month and finds it difficult to pay zakah on every amount as its year completes may designate a specific time in the year to pay the zakah on all of it, such as Ramadan. He pays the zakah on everything he has accumulated, whether its year has completed or not, up to the end of the following year. By doing this, he fulfills his zakah obligation and is relieved of the hardship. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
