I am serving in United Nations and getting paid in dollars. My contract is for one year only. From the salary I also run my household expenditure. I intend to go for hajj next year; in-shaAllah for which I want to save some money. It is pertinent to mention that the amount is more then 7 and half tola gold. My question is that am I suppose to give zakah on this money which I am earning from United Nations? Please clarify in the light of Shariah.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Yes, as per the rules you will have to pay zakah on the said amount.
Allah knows Best!
