The Ruling on Zakah for What Was Spent Before the Completion of the Lunar Year
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Does a person pay zakah on what he spends on himself, knowing that he spent it before the lunar year (hawl) had completed for him?
Answer:
Money that is spent before the completion of the lunar year has no zakah due on it, whether it is currency or otherwise. It is necessary for the completion of the lunar year for zakah to be due. So, if a person has currency and spends it on his needs before the completion of the lunar year, there is no zakah on it. Or if he has sheep, camels, or cattle, and the lunar year does not complete for them, and they die, for example, or he sells them, there is no zakah on them. However, he pays zakah on their sale price when the lunar year completes. He pays zakah on their sale price when the lunar year completes. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah bless you and reward you with good, O Shaykh.
