This questions is related to zakat I am not working yet my age is 22 year and I have 165000 Indian rupees all are savings from my childhood should I am eligible to pay zakat on that money or not one more now a days I am going to factory with my father some times he gives me 7500 per month not fix every month .

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The Nisaab of Zakaat is 87.479 grams of gold and 612.35 grams of silver, or its equivalent in cash.[i] Thereafter, the following year, on the same date of the lunar calendar, one will have to give Zakat if one has Zakatable assets equivalent to the Nisaab on that date each year.[ii]

In the enquired situation, if your total cash is above the Nisaab of Zakat, then you will have to give 2.5% of that amount in Zakat.

You may refer to 17114 for further guidelines regarding Zakat.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

يس فيما دون مائتي درهم صدقة فإذا كانت مائتي درهم وحال عليها الحول ففيها خمسة دراهم

باب زكاة العروض

الزكاة واجبة في عروض التجارة كائنة ما كانت إذا بلغت قميتها نصابا من الذهب أو الورق يقومها بما هو أنفع للفقراء والمساكين منهما

وإذا كان النصاب كاملا في طرفي الحول فنقصانه فيما بين ذلك لا يسقط الزكاة

وتضم قيمة العروض إلى الذهب والفضة وكذلك يضم الذهب إلى الفضة بالقيمة حتى يتم النصاب عند أبي حنيفة
