The ruling on living with a father who does not pay zakah and the obligation to pay zakah

Question:
May Allah reward you. In his final question, he says: By the praise of Allah, I pray and fast, but I have not paid zakah because I live with my father in the house, and my father has not paid zakah. I know that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has blessed him with a great deal of wealth in the form of sheep and iron, but he has never paid zakah, except for the alms given at the end of Ramadan. He prays, but he does not maintain the prayer, especially the dawn prayer, the Friday prayer, and the festivals, and he has never gone to the mosques. Is my living with him forbidden or lawful? What should I do? Is it permissible for me to pay zakah on behalf of myself and my family? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is obligatory to pay the zakah on wealth that is subject to zakah when it becomes due. It becomes due in four things: First, it is obligatory on the two types of currency, meaning the coins and the money in use, whether it is gold and silver or paper currency. Second, it is obligatory on livestock, namely camels, cattle, and sheep. Third, it is obligatory on trade goods, which are the commodities prepared for sale and purchase; one pays zakah on their value according to what they are worth at the end of the year by estimating them and then paying a quarter of a tenth. Fourth, it is obligatory on what comes out of the earth, namely grains and fruits. The condition for all of them is reaching the minimum threshold for zakah, which is the threshold for each item according to the details provided in the Shari'ah and in the books of Islamic jurisprudence. The condition of the completion of a lunar year of possession also applies to the wealth subject to zakah, except for what comes out of the earth, for which zakah is paid when it is harvested. Allah the Exalted said: . If your father does not pay zakah, you must advise him, for he may be ignorant of this matter. Explain to him that zakah is a pillar of Islam, the third pillar after prayer, and that it is the companion of prayer in the Book of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. You must explain this to him. If he does not comply, then you have cleared your conscience by advising him. As for you, pay the zakah on your wealth and do not look to your father; pay the zakah on your wealth according to the prescribed method. Yes.
The years that have passed without paying the zakah must be totaled and the zakah paid, because it is a debt in your conscience. Yes.
