How to Pay the Zakah on Monthly Salaries for an Employee
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks Your Eminence about zakah, and specifically about the zakah on the salary: how does he pay it? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If the salary is saved until the year passes, it is subject to zakah if it reaches the nisab, which is more than fifty-six silver riyals, or the equivalent in currency, once the lunar year has elapsed. However, if he spends it before the year is complete, there is no zakah on it.
The presenter : May Allah bless you. Does he pay the zakah in Muharram for Muharram? Or how does it work?
The Shaykh : If the salary comes in Muharram, the zakah is due in Muharram. It is two and a half percent of every hundred, two and a half percent of the hundred. If it is in Safar, it is in Safar; if in Rabi', it is in Rabi', and so on. Once the year is complete, he pays one-quarter of one-tenth, whether it is one hundred riyals or two hundred riyals. Yes.
The presenter : We seek help from Allah. May Allah bless you.
