The answer

Zakat is obligatory on this amount if a year has passed over it and it has reached the nisab (the value of 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver). The amount of zakat is 2.5%. It is not permissible to deposit money in an interest-based bank except in cases of extreme necessity, with the obligation to dispose of its interest by spending it on the welfare of Muslims.
