The Zakah on the Salary and How to Pay It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Regarding the salary, is there zakah on the salary or not? And if the answer is yes, what is the method? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
If you have an amount that reaches the nisab (the minimum threshold for zakah) or more, and a lunar year has passed over it, then zakah is obligatory on it without doubt. However, if you spent it before the lunar year was completed and nothing remained, then you owe no zakah. But if you have an amount available from every salary and it is difficult for you to consider each salary separately, then you set a date in the year in which you pay out the zakah on what is accumulated with you, whether the lunar year has completed for it or not, until the same time in the next year. By doing so, you have paid the zakah and cleared your conscience. Yes.
