Zakah on Delayed Salaries
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man had salaries due from the state for a year and several months, and then they paid them to him this month. His question is: Is there zakah on these delayed salaries?
Answer:
Before he receives them, there is no zakah on them, because he does not know if they will come or not. But after he receives them, if a lunar year has passed since receipt, he pays zakah on them, or if a lunar year has passed on any portion of them, he pays zakah on that portion. Yes.
