The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I have an account in the bank, and I opened another account,
The Shaykh:
account.
The questioner:
I have an account in the bank, and then I opened another account, and this latter one has reached a lunar year. Am I required to pay the zakah from that account itself, or do I pay from the first account for both?
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with paying the zakah; the important thing is that you pay the zakah from any money you have, or from what you own. It is not necessary to pay the zakah from the specific coins or currency from which it is due; it is not necessary.
