ANSWER:

It is very difficult to keep track of all of this throughout the year. Therefore, it is best to set a date in the lunar calendar and whenever this date is due, you look at your savings and give 2.5% as zakat, regardless when the money came into your possession. 

sheikh, we know that after crossing the threshold the money has to stay with us for a whole year but with in this time what if the money 1) increases or 2) decreases but not below the threshold. can you please expain what happens in these two instances?
