Zakah for the Employee
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q2: Is an employee who receives a monthly salary eligible for zakah if his salary does not fully suffice for his needs?
A2: If his monthly salary does not suffice for him and he has no other income to complete his sufficiency, he is eligible for zakah. The person upon whom it is obligatory to pay zakah should give him from it what suffices for his permissible expenses; because, in the state described, he is considered among the poor.
