Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This person asks: How do I repent for not paying zakah for the years that have passed?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
He asks: How do I repent for not paying zakah for the years that have passed?
The Shaykh:
Repentance alone is not sufficient. You must repent, and you must pay the zakah, because it is a debt in your possession. Two things are required of you: repenting to Allah for the delay, and the second, which is very important, is that you pay the zakah for the past years so that nothing remains in your possession, because it is a debt to Allah the Exalted. Yes.
