Age To Pay Zakah?
If a person earned money, zakat is due on it regardless of age. Also zakat is due the moment money hits his/her bank account. If the person spends the money, that’s no excuse for not paying the zakat.
To be clear, I’m talking about income zakat. In Ghamidi sahab’s view, there are 2 kinds of zakat: income and savings. Income zakat is calculated on gross income according to the following formula: 20% if neither capital nor labor was used (e.g. gifts) 10% if either capital or labor was used (e.g. salaries) 5% if both capital and labor was used (e.g. business income). Savings zakat is flat 2.5% of savings after nisab (exemption). A ll items of personal use are exempt from savings zakat.
