The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

Zakat is due again each year on the same savings, Mufti Abu Layth says, giving it as what is technically said.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth welcomes a first-time viewer, answers a chat remark, and opens the questions his patrons posted on Patreon. The first asks whether savings on which zakat was paid, and which stayed the same a year later, owe zakat again or only on the increase. Mufti answers that technically, they would say, zakat is paid again, since each year counts afresh. He then passes over a message he cannot make sense of.

Question as read aloud · questioner not identified
If I have savings and I pay zakat on them, but by next year they have stayed the same, do I pay zakat on them again or only on the increase?
