How to calculate the zakah on wealth that reaches the nisab in some months and falls below it in others
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If my bank balance is below the nisab for zakah in some months, and exceeds ten thousand in other months, is zakah obligatory on me?
Answer:
Zakah is due once the lunar year (hawl) has completed, from the time the nisab is reached. If it is deficient, for example, if a year passes and the amount is fifty riyals, and then it increases to sixty or fifty-six riyals, the hawl begins if it reaches fifty-six riyals. So, if the hawl completes and he has fifty-six or more, he pays zakah. If it breaks off or decreases before the hawl is completed, there is no zakah.
