ما هي حجة الذين أفتوا بزكاة الراتب؟
The argument of those who advocate for zakat on salaries is the generality of the evidence mandating zakat, coupled with their disagreement with the majority regarding the non-stipulation of the hawl (one-year possession) due to their belief that the hadiths stipulating it are not established. They rely on the statements of some early Muslims (Salaf) and Imams. The preferred opinion is that zakat is not obligatory on a salary unless a hawl has passed on it while it reaches the nisab (minimum taxable amount). This aligns with the view of the majority of scholars, who consider the hadiths suitable for argumentation, and the principle is the absolution of one's liability.
