How is the zakah of money deposited in a personal safe calculated, given that the saving process has not reached a full lunar year for all of it?

Question:
May Allah reward you. In his other question, he says: Another employee receives a monthly salary and deposits everything he receives into a safe he has. He spends from this safe daily, at similar times, varying amounts for his household expenses and needs according to necessity. So how is the lunar year (hawl) determined for what is available in this safe? And how is the zakah paid in such a case? Even though, as we mentioned, the saving process has not reached a full lunar year for all of it. Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The answer to this question is like the answer to the previous question. Praise be to Allah. He designates a month of the year in which he pays the zakah on the money he has accumulated, whether its lunar year has completed or not. People have no choice but to do this. Yes. Praise be to Allah.
