Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there zakah on the salary? I mean, are you employees, or are you paying zakah?
Answer:
If you have money that you possess and a lunar year has passed over it, you pay its zakah. 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 for zakah), you must pay zakah on it, whether it is from a salary or from other sources. Yes.
