The questioner : May the Shaykh be respected, a young man is saving money for marriage and his financial situation is moderate, and a lunar year has passed over this money; does he have to pay zakah on it?
The Shaykh : Yes, if a person saves money for marriage, or saves money to buy a house or something similar, then zakah is obligatory on it, even if his financial situation is modest, because zakah is obligatory on money in its capacity as money, and if a person has money, he must pay zakah on it.
