is obligatory on saved money if it reaches the threshold () of 85 grams of gold and a full lunar year (hawl) has passed on it. The amount due is one-quarter of one-tenth (2.5%). It is not permissible to give zakat to one's son, because his maintenance is obligatory upon the mother. Zakat is a blessing and growth for wealth and a purification for the soul.
