The Zakah of Marriage Funds and Endowed Funds
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This young man is saving his money for marriage. Does he have to pay zakah on it?
The Shaykh:
Yes, if a lunar year has passed over the accumulated money, zakah is obligatory on it, whether it is intended for marriage, for construction, or for any other purpose.
The questioner:
Does the endowed money have to pay zakah?
The Shaykh:
There is no zakah on the endowed money, because the spending of the endowment is the spending of zakah in construction projects.
