    Title: Zakat on property for which i have already given zakat.

    Question: I want to explain my question in an example: 1. Last year I had 100000 rupees and I also paid zakah for this. I have not used this money for one year and hence I have same amount currently. Do I need to pay its zakah again this year? 2. Last year I had 100000 rupees and I also paid zakah for it. Then I added another 100000 to it so currently my saving is 200000. Do I need to pay zakah for 200000 or just 100000?

    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 839/814/B=8/1438)

    (1) Yes, this year too you will have to pay the zakah of those rupees again.

    (2) Now you will have to pay the zakah of two lakh rupees; both the amount which was in your hand earlier and the income which came in your hand later.
