\n\tQuestion<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMy question is that when giving zakat, do we give according to the Islamic year or the English year? <\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso, if a person totally forgets to give zakat and then he remembers after the due date has passed, is he a sinner? When that individual does eventually give zakat, does he give it according to the currency that he possesses at that time or at the time the zakat was due?<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTo allow more clarity in providing answers the queries have been separated and numbered as mentioned below:<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n\t\tDo we give zakat according to the Islamic year or the English year?<\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n\t\u0648\u062d\u0648\u0644\u0647\u0627 (\u0623\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0632\u0643\u0648\u0629) \u0642\u0645\u0631\u064a\u0651 \u0644\u0627 \u0634\u0645\u0633\u064a<\/span>\u0651<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

    \n\tZakat is calculated according to the lunar calendar, not the solar calendar.[1]<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

    \n\tTherefore, the obligation would initiate as soon as one holds the possession of the nisab amount or its equivalent.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

    \n\tImam Qudoori mentions: “Zakat is compulsory upon a free, mature, sane Muslim when he holds the full possession of the nisab for one full (Islamic) year.”[2]<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

    \n\t \n<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n\t\tIf a person forgets to give zakat and remembers after the due date has passed, is he a sinner?<\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n\t(\u0648\u0642\u064a\u0644 \u0641\u0648\u0631\u064a) \u0623\u064a \u0648\u0627\u062c\u0628 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0641\u0648\u0631 (\u0648\u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0641\u062a\u0648\u0649) \u0643\u0645\u0627 \u0641\u064a \u0634\u0631\u062d \u0627\u0644\u0648\u0647\u0628\u0627\u0646\u064a\u0629 (\u0641\u064a\u0623\u062b\u0645 \u0628\u062a\u0623\u062e\u064a\u0631\u0647\u0627) \u0628\u0644\u0627 \u0639\u0630\u0631 (\u0648\u062a\u0631\u062f \u0634\u0647\u0627\u062f\u062a\u0647<\/span>)<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

      \n\tThe person will be sinful. Since from the due date, the obligation of paying zakat starts until the following date of the next lunar year.[3]<\/a> The advice will be to fulfil the previous payments and seek forgiveness to Allah; The All-Forgiving and Most Merciful.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

      \n\t \n<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n\t\tIs zakat given according to the currency of the remembered time or at the rate when zakat was first due?<\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \n\tOne should calculate the amount of due zakat based on the currency which was at that time when zakat was first due.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
