The questioner : Please proceed.
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.
The questioner : And peace be upon you. I work at an institution and I do not receive from my salary except the amount for expenses. Is there zakah on the remaining amount? I am receiving zakah.
The Shaykh : But the lunar year (hawl) has not completed for the last month.
The questioner : It does not matter. If the time for zakah arrives, pay the zakah, or wait for the hawl to complete.
The Shaykh : Yes, or the hawl does not complete for it, meaning like...

The Shaykh : It is easier for you and lighter for you if you pass the time for zakah to pay the zakah on whatever you have, absolutely, whether it has been a year or not?
The questioner : Thank you, my brother.
