Zakah on money saved for marriage

Q 1: A man has had some money for one lunar year, but he has been saving it to get married. Is Zakah due on this money?


A: Zakah is due on this money as it meets the conditions for the obligation of Zakah. Wanting to use this money for marriage cannot be used as an excuse for not paying the Zakah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
