The zakah on a monthly salary if more than a year has passed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the zakah of a monthly salary? If more than a year has passed and we have not paid it, what is the ruling?
Answer:
The employee who saves from each month and a sum accumulates with him, and a lunar year has passed over it, must pay zakah on the entire amount, all that he has saved from the months. If it is difficult for him to do so month by month, he should set a specific time or point in the year in which he pays the zakah on what he has saved that has completed a lunar year and what has not, because this is easier for him. Yes.
