Zakah on the Monthly Salary

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on the monthly income that a person receives, and how is the zakah calculated on it?

Answer:
If he has a sum of money that remains with him for a full lunar year, then zakah becomes obligatory on it. However, if he spends it and nothing remains before the completion of the lunar year, then there is no zakah on it.
