Zakat Query Salaried People Liabilities
@Irfan76 sir could you please reply with a detailed explanation as the confusions in my first question still haven’t been answered. Isn’t rent and utility bills that are due to you in the same category of mortgage bills? How will they not be excluded from your salary on the calculation of Zakat? If the minimum taxable income is 50 thousand and lets say a person earns 150 thousand per month, and taking the rent and bills out leaves him with less than 50 thousand, is Zakat eligible on him? And if he has nothing much left to spend after rent and bill payments, then wouldn’t this push him into debt if he willy nilly pays 10 percent straight out of his salary to Zakah? Without considering how much he owes in bill payments and if he needs that 10 percent to maintain a decent living?
