What is the amount of Zakat obligatory on an accountant from his income, and is it Zakat on wealth that suffices for the Zakat of Fasting and Eid al-Fitr?
Zakat becomes obligatory upon you if your salary provides you with an amount equivalent to 85 grams of gold, whether this amount is reached by itself or by adding other money to it, and a full lunar year (Hawl) passes over this money. The amount of Zakat that must be paid is one-quarter of one-tenth (2.5%). This Zakat does not substitute for Zakat al-Fitr, as Zakat on wealth differs from Zakat on persons (Zakat al-Fitr).
