Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My wife has gold for which the zakah has not been paid for two years. We calculated it this year, and the amount that must be paid out is five hundred riyals. Do we pay out this same amount for the two past years, or what do we do?
Answer:
There is no harm if you pay it out for the two years; this is more cautious and clears the conscience.
