Zakat on interest money 7355223252

Monthly Al Kawthar•zakat-fitra•

Question

I have some money in my bank account. He also has some interest. Every year when I pay zakat, I get troubled thinking, should I pay zakat on interest along with the original money? But without asking any mufti, I would pay zakat every year along with the principal money. A friend told me that zakat is not obligatory on interest. Now I want to know the right thing from Mr. Mufti. 4825645789

Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

Pay two and a half percent zakat on the principal of your bank account. And the interest money will be given in charity for the liberation from the burden of haram without the intention of chhawab. Note that zakat is a financial act of worship, which comes only from halal wealth and is to be paid by halal wealth. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Allaah accepts only that which is lawful. Saheeh Bukhari, Hadith: 1410. According to another narration, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Sadaqah is not accepted from haraam wealth. 4684947316
