If years have passed since the share, how is the zakah paid?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : A woman invested in a partnership ten years ago.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : Ten years ago.
The Shaykh : She invested in a business partnership, I mean?
The questioner : Yes, that is correct.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Then, after these ten years, she needed this.
The Shaykh : Then?
The questioner : After ten years.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : She needed her money and asked for it, and it was given to her. She was told that she had not paid the zakah. So now, is she to gather all the money at once and pay the zakah, or is it for each year?
Considering that she did not know about it each year, how does she pay this zakah?
The Shaykh : No, yes. If years have passed since this share and she has not paid the zakah, she must go back to the company's management and say: "Calculate the first year, the second year, and the third year," and pay a quarter of a tenth for each year. Do you understand?
The questioner : Three years?
The Shaykh : Three years or more. You ask the company's management, because the company has a time when it settles its accounts. Yes, that is right.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : From the right.
