Please I’m about asking this question. Expatiate more on it”
ANSWER
Alhamdulillaah!
It is not true that Zakaat is not obligatory upon Salary earners.
Rather what is known is that it is obligatory on anybody that makes savings that amount to the Nisaab for a period spanning a year. This is without regard to his being a business man or a salary earner.
