How to pay the zakah on what an employee saves from his salary

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: How does a person pay the zakah on what he saves from his salary?

Answer:
He sets a specific time of the year in which he pays the zakah on what has accumulated with him, both for the portion that has completed a lunar year and the portion that has not, up to the same time in the following year. By doing this, his conscience is cleared, and there is no option for employees and those like them except this. Yes.
