Paying Zakat from savings account?
We had good business in the past year. Now-a-days our money is in the bank. I want to ask the question that, is it jaiz in Islam to give zakat from savings account, as many people are taking zakat from us from the past few decades. Now what we should do?

awais, this is outside our realm of expertise, as we only provide advice on marriage and family issues.
I'll leave the question up for one day in case any of our readers has knowledge in this matter, and then I'll close it.
I have to say however that your question is not clear to me in any case. Are you talking about an interest-bearing account, and are you asking whether it is halal to pay zakat from such an account? Surely you know that earning or paying interest is forbidden in Islam.
Also, I don't know what you mean that many people have been taking zakat from you the past few decades.
