Question
I am calculating my Zakaat today (11 Zul Hijjah) corresponding with 13th August. I will get paid on the 31st August for work done in August. Do I add to my Zakaat taxable assets the amount which I have earned during the first 13 days of August although I shall be paid only at the end of the month?
Answer
Since you are not in possession of the money you have earned during the first 13 days of August – money which will be paid to you only at the end of the month – you should not include it in your Zakaat taxable assets.
