another zakat question

Re: another zakat question

@Hmmna

one more, if you have only one account which you use for everything, on what amount do you pay zakat? since that money fluctuates month to month even weekly? is it the amount you have on the day you pay zakat?

you have to fix a date for calculating zakat. Most people calculate zakat on 1st Ramadan. so, the amount in your account on 1st Ramadan (even there was a major fluctuation inflow / outflow in the account a day before Ramadan) is subject to zakat. Its not necessary that each single penny in your account had remained in your account for a year to be subjected to zakat.
