Zakah on Lost Wealth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A person has a sum of ten thousand riyals. He placed this money in a place in his house, and then he forgot about this money for ten years. Does he have to pay zakah during these ten years?
He does not pay zakah on it, because he was prevented from accessing his wealth by the forgetting. However, if he remembers and takes the money, he pays zakah for only one year.
