another zakat question

Re: another zakat question

very tricky question and if this situation is considered many people will stop paying zakat as everyone saves money for a specific item. Say I’ve some money and I want to buy home, should I not pay zakat. I would want someone to reply this with references.

What I remember just after your query is:

And they ask you what they should spend. Say, “The excess [beyond needs].”
