The ruling on wealth when a lunar year has passed over it and it is saved for marriage or the like
His Eminence the Shaykh: A young man is saving money for marriage, and his financial situation is moderate. A lunar year has passed over this money. Does he have to pay zakah on it?
Yes.
If a person saves money for marriage, or to buy a house, or something similar, then it is obligatory for him to pay zakah on it, even if his financial situation is difficult. This is because zakah is obligatory on wealth simply because it is wealth, and if a person has wealth, it is obligatory for him to pay zakah on it.
