Any money you have saved for building

343

Q 1: I have saved almost 2,000 Egyptian pounds from the money I have earned from work, (Part No. 9; Page No. 278) not from trading. As I have had this sum for a lunar year now, do I have to pay Zakah (obligatory charity) on it or not?

A: Zakah is due on the money that you have earned from work, even if it was not gained from trading, if you have had it for a lunar year. Thus, you should pay 2.5% of the total as Zakah every year.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
