#654: The Zakāt of a Salary Earner
QUESTION:
” Asalaamum alaykum wa rahmatullah. Please I need answer. What is the zakat the one collecting salary should be giving”
ANSWER:
Wa Alaykum Salām Warahmatullāh Wabarakātuh
Alhamdulillāh.
The Ruling on Zakāt and it’s Injunctions has nothing to do with the means of earning nor it’s mode.
Rather, the Conditions for the obligation of Zakāt are two: that it reaches the Nisāb, and that a year passes over it.
What matters is if the money saved from your Salary aggregates to the Nisāb of Zakāt and the year passes over it.
And Allāh knows best.
Bārakallāhu Fīkum
Jazākumullāhu Khayran.
