He asks: How do I pay the zakah for eight years that have passed, during which I did not pay zakah?
Answer:
If you have something available, you designate a month of the year, such as Ramadan, in which you pay the zakah on all that you possess, both what has completed a lunar year and what has not, up to that same day of the month in the coming year. There is no option for you but this, and by doing so, you will have discharged the zakah of your wealth, with the permission of Allah. Yes.
