Asslm

At the beginning of Ramadan 1440 I had Rs 500000 and now at the beginning of Ramadan 1441 I have Rs 750000. Zakaat for year 1440 was calculated on Rs 500000. So do I calculate zakaat or year 1441 on Rs 750000 or on the difference between the two sums i.e RS 250000,given that Zakaat was paid on the sum of Rs 500000 in 1440?

Answer

Wa alaikumus salaam

Normally zakaat is calculated on the total sum one pocess every year. Therefore, for Ramadaan 1441 it should be calculated on the whole amount of Rs 750000.
