The Method for Calculating the Zakah of Money That Has Been Possessed for Three Years
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I possessed a sum of money for three years and did not pay its zakah. I calculated it in this way: first for three years, then for two years, and then for one year. Is this method correct?
Answer:
If you have wealth that has been in your possession for several years and you have not paid its zakah, it is obligatory for you to hasten to pay the zakah for the first year. Then you deduct the zakah you paid from the amount and pay zakah on the remainder for the second year. Then you deduct the second zakah amount from the wealth and pay zakah on it for the third year, and so on.
