is obligatory on zakatable wealth if it reaches the (threshold) and a full hawl (lunar year) passes over it. The default is that each salary payment has its own independent hawl. However, it is permissible for the wealth owner to pay Zakat on all of his wealth by considering the hawl of his first nisab. This is better and for the benefit of the poor.
