Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This listener says: My name is Abdullah. He says: I want to get married, and I have an amount of money for the marriage, which is more than the nisab. Is zakah due on it? Knowing that my father will help me in bringing the house and other items?
Answer:
Yes, if a lunar year has passed over money that is with you and in your possession, and it reaches the nisab or more, then zakah is obligatory on it for whatever purpose you want it for. Do you want it for marriage? Do you want it for rent? Do you want it for any work? Do you want it to accumulate wealth and keep it with you? If a lunar year has passed over it and it reaches the nisab or more, then zakah is obligatory on it. Yes.
