Is zakaat compulsory on leave days?

Answered by 

Shaykh Ebrahim Salejee

Q: At work, we are allowed to accumulate our leave days and may also take the cash money for it at any time. Do I have to pay zakaat on these leave days, as there is a monetary value to it?

Bismillaah

A: No.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
