Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Is zakah obligatory on money that is saved for the purpose of buying a car, or not?
Answer:
Yes. If a lunar year has passed over the money, and the currency reaches the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) or more, then zakah is obligatory on it, regardless of what purpose you intend for it. Do you want to use it to get married? Do you want to buy a car with it? Do you want to save it as a reserve? Zakah is obligatory on it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
