The ruling on what was paid out in cash as zakat al-fitr after knowing the stronger position
If a person used to pay zakat al-fitr in cash, following the opinion of the scholars of his land, and then the stronger position became clear to him, what is required of him regarding his charity?
It is not required of him. Whoever does something based on the fatwa of a scholar or by following the scholars of his land, he owes nothing.An example of that is: If a woman does not pay the zakat on her jewelry and years pass by without her knowing that zakat is obligatory on jewelry, or based on the fact that her scholars issue a fatwa that there is no zakat on it, and then it becomes clear to her, she pays the zakat after it becomes clear to her. Before that, it is not required of her.
