Question:
A person owes zakah for five years and has not paid it. He repented, and Allah the Exalted accepted his repentance. How does he pay the zakah in this year?
Answer:
Yes, he pays the zakah for all the years that have passed, because it is a debt in his liability. He pays it and hastens to settle his debts, clearing his liability of the zakah that is due from him, even if it is for several years. Yes. May Allah reward you.
