Zakat on salary/income:
Correct method:
1. Save monthly from your salary
2. Calculate Zakat on total savings after one year
3. NOT on gross monthly salary
Common mistake:
Don't pay Zakat on each paycheck!
Example:
- Starting savings: 100,000
- Monthly savings: 20,000
- After 1 year: 340,000
- Zakat: 340,000 × 2.5% = 8,500
Only pay on what remains after expenses.
And Allah knows best.
