Tawḍīḥ al-AḥkāmAbd Allah al-Bassam
  1. If a person acquires wealth that is neither the profit of an ongoing trade nor the offspring of grazing livestock kept for milk or breeding, but rather comes by another avenue—such as an inheritance, a gift, rental income, or a salary from employment (and this is the case referred to in the hadith)—then its zakāt-year (ḥawl) is calculated independently. It has no link to the wealth he already owns, for it is not an adjunct to it and therefore is not attached to it.
  2. By contrast, when the newly gained wealth is the profit of a business—even if earned only a short time before the principal completes its year—zakāt is due on that profit together with the principal. The same applies if livestock produce offspring shortly before the year ends: zakāt is due on the offspring along with the mother animals. In both situations, the subsidiary wealth follows the zakāt-year of the principal.
  3. When the acquired wealth has no connection to one’s business or livestock, each amount is assessed on its own once its individual year is complete. If a person prefers to designate a specific month—such as Ramaḍān—for paying all his zakāt, he should discharge it for whatever has completed its year; he may also pay in advance for assets whose year is not yet finished. Doing so is permissible, affords him ease, and simplifies the matter for him.
٣ - فمن استفاد مالًا من غير ربح التجارة التي يديرها، ومن غير نتاج السائمة التي أعدها للدرّ والنسل، وإنما استفاده من طريق آخر كميراث، أو هدية، أو أجر عقار، أو راتب على وظيفة -وهو المراد بهذا الحديث- فحوله مستقل، ولا دخل له بما لديه من مال؟ لأنه ليس تابعًا له، فلم يربط به. ٤ - أما من استفاد مالًا من ربح التجارة، ولو قبيل حلول الأصل بشيء يسير -وجبت فيه الزكاة كأصله، أو لم تنتج بهيمة الأنعام قبل الحول إلاَّ بوقت يسير، وجبت فيه الزكاة كأصله، فحوله حول أصله. ٥ - إذا كان المال المكتسب لا علاقة له بتجارته وسائمته، فكل مال يزكيه وحده، إذا حال عليه حوله. وإذا أراد أن يجعل له شهرًا معلومًا -كرمضان- لإخراج زكاته كلها، فيخرج عما حال عليه الحول، ويجوز إخراج الزكاة عما لم يحل حوله، من باب تعجيل الزكاة عنه فجائز، وهذا فيه راحة له، وتيسير لأمره. ***
