Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: I entered into shares ten years ago and I forgot about these shares. She says: When I remembered them, I found in them a sum of five thousand riyals. She asks: Do I pay zakah on the five thousand for ten years, or is that sufficient?
The Shaykh:
We have answered this in a previous question. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Or as if the questioner is asking us to waive the ruling or to forget the ruling and issue a fatwa with something else. No, we have answered it, that is the end of it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
