Zakah on the Salary
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: Is there zakah on a salary? I mean, are you employees, or are you paying zakah?
Answer:
The Shaykh: If you have money that reaches the threshold and a lunar year has passed over it, you pay zakah on it. Yes, anything over which a lunar year passes is subject to zakah, whether it is from a salary or from other sources. If you accumulate money and a lunar year passes over it, and it reaches the nisab (minimum threshold) or more, you must pay zakah on it, whether it is from a salary or from other sources.
