Question:
I ask Allah to do you good, Your Eminence, father. The questioner, who is an employee, asks: Is it obligatory for him to designate a month of the year for paying the zakah of his wealth, whether it reaches the nisab or not?
Answer:
It is obligatory for him to pay the zakah on all his wealth for which a lunar year has passed. For whatever wealth a lunar year has passed, he must pay its zakah. However, if it is difficult for him to separate each category individually and determine its specific lunar year, then as a facilitation, he may set a single date for all of it and pay the zakah on all of it at the end of the year. By doing so, he has fulfilled the zakah of his wealth and cleared his conscience. Yes.
