Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A person withheld zakah for years, then the ruling became clear to him afterward, and that it is obligatory for him to pay it all. He says: But he has nothing now, so what is obligatory for him?
Answer:
It is obligatory for him to record it as a debt in his liability, a debt in his liability. When it becomes easy for him, he pays it out. He does not neglect it. He must record it so that he does not forget it, or so that he dies with it in his liability and no one knows about it. Yes.
