Zakah on salaries and income : paying Zakah from investment revenue

Fatawa Question

Assalamualikum Wrb I am anticipating my Zakah will be twice my annual personal expenses after I retire InShAllah currently I pay my Zakah from my income which will not be there upon retirement 15 % of my portfolio is to go to charities listed in my bequest upon my death is it possible (allowed by Shari’ah) if I put 15 % of my portfolio into a tax exempt investment so the income is tax free and use that income to pay Zakah while I am alive and allocate the investment to be given to charities listed in my will ? I will appreciate your advise. Jakamullah Khair
