Is Zakat on money obligatory on the monthly salary itself, or on what is saved or invested from it? And what about Zakat for previous periods in which the payer did not pay Zakat on money due to not saving or investing from his salary?
Zakat is not obligatory on the monthly salary unless it reaches the Nisab (threshold) and a full year (Hawl) passes on it, either by itself or when combined with other money, gold, or silver.
