Am I still liable to pay annual zakah on that 1 Lakh amount? I have not paid zakah on that 1 lakh this year 2014 as I have not received it and am not sure when would I receive that. Would I be answerable for that? What if he pays me the amount in future say after 4-5 years? In that case do I have to pay the zakah for all these previous years also or it would be calculated from that year onwards?
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
(Fatwa: 338/273/D=04/1436)
It is not wajib on you to pay zakah of the salary which is due on your company according to the detail which you provided. However, when you receive the salary then you should pay the zakah including the zakah of the previous year.
Allah knows Best!
