Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: If I did not pay zakah throughout my life, will sins be recorded against me?

I seek refuge in Allah. One who abandons an obligation of Islam... but the zakah is not dropped from you. You calculate it for the past years and determine the amount. It is not dropped from you, even if it were a hundred years. You calculate it and pay it out.
