Is zakat obligatory on the remaining amount of money allocated for buying a car after purchasing it for less than the allocated amount, and how is its zakat calculated?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Zakat is obligatory on wealth that reaches the nisab (minimum threshold) after the passing of a full year (hawl), whether it is saved for buying a car, a house, marriage, or anything else. This is because Zakat is a right of the poor. It is obligatory upon you to pay Zakat on all wealth that a full year has passed over, whether it is saved for buying a car or for other purposes.
