Amount Upon Which Zakaat is Calculated

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: On the 1st of Ramadan I had £30,000, by the end of that year I had £15,000 – do I give zakat on £30,000 or on £15,000?

A: The zakaah is calculated and paid at the end of the zakaatable year. If at the end of the zakaatable year you had 15000 then you will pay on 15000 only.

( وشرط كمال النصاب ) ولو سائمة ( في طرفي الحول ) في الابتداء للانعقاد وفي الانتهاء للوجوب ( فلا يضر نقصانه بينهما ) فلو هلك كله بطل الحول

و قال في رد المحتار : قوله ( للوجوب ) أي لتحقق الوجوب عليه ط ( رد المحتار 2/302)
