Do I need to pay zakah on $5000 or $10000?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
For example: Last year, my bank balance was $5000. I paid zakah on that $5000. Now I have $10000 in my bank account (including the $5000 balance from last year). Do I need to pay zakah on the $5000 that was accumulated this year, or the entire $10000 in the bank? Can you please reply as soon as possible?

Answer

(Fatwa: 646/603/N=1433)

Zakah is wajib each year; hence you will have to pay the zakah of 10 thousand dollars.
