as I am getting older i need to learn how to pay zakat. I know how it works for gold/silver but what about money in bank? How does that work? On the day it’s due, do I have to calculate all my savings, or do I have to calculate how much I will earn that year and leave aside what I owe for the due date of zakat? I’m really confused about this matter
