Zakat Query Salaried People Liabilities
Thank you for the response. Actually I got have gotten so many views from this forum and the videos that I have gotten confused. So if mortgage payments are excluded, then isn’t the rent too at a place that I don’t own but have rented from the owner? And some discussions here said that we can deduct the Nisab and then apply the Zakat on the remaining. And as per some discussions is it ok to use the minimum taxable income the government has set as the Nisab? And lastly sir, as you mentioned that during the Prophet’s era, the tax on merchandise was 2.5 %, then doesn’t this pose more questions? Because obviously those people during that time bought merch and then sold it and earned income from the Prophets but the standard 2.5 % was applied. And more importantly did they pay that 2.5 % yearly (as on wealth) or was it liable as soon as the income (profit) was earned?
