Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: We are a group of partners who deduct two and a half percent of our net monthly profits. He asks: Is it obligatory for us to pay zakah on what we save when the lunar year has passed?
The Shaykh:
How?
The questioner:
He says: We are a group of partners who deduct two and a half percent of our net monthly profits from what we earn,
The Shaykh:
They give it as charity, not as zakah; they give it as charity, and the zakah remains due on it. Yes, what is given out has no zakah on it. What is given out before the lunar year is completed has no zakah on it, but what remains until the lunar year is completed requires zakah if it reaches the nisab. Yes.
The questioner:
He asks: Is it obligatory for any of us to pay zakah when the lunar year has passed?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the remainder that they did not give out before the completion of the lunar year, if it reaches the nisab, they must pay zakah on it. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
