Need help in calulating Zakat

[syedali04]

Assalam alikum Imam Sahib,

I am very much confused about the calculation of zakat and the period of zakat to pay. I started working last ramadan for a company. the project was terminated after 6 months and then i have been looking for job. I got another job after 5 months of struggle. And Alhamdulliah i started working again, it have over one month now. I dont know how to calculate the zakat.

I would really appreciate if can explain me whats are the term and condition for paying zakat..

Jazak Allah

You have to have the money for a period of one year to calculate your zakat, its got to be the minimum that you have had. Thats the threshold. If you go below, that lowens the threshold. If it goes higher, the threshold remains the same. Remember, the period has to be constant for a year. The amount is 2.5% over that year, and that inlcudes gold as well as cash.


Jazak'allah for your question.
