Question:
A questioner says: My mother has a sum of six thousand riyals, and it has been approximately eight years, and she has not paid zakah during that period. Has she now paid the zakah for the eight years?
Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory for her to pay a quarter of a tenth for each of the eight years. It is not sufficient to pay the zakah for only one year. She must pay it for all the years by paying a quarter of a tenth for each year. Yes.
