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

\n\tZakah is an obligation for every free, sane, mature Muslim when they have owned the value of nisaab and a year has passed.[1] Nisab is 612.36 grams of silver and\/or 87.48 grams of gold. The zakah will be paid at a rate of 2.5% of the wealth above nisab.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tYou will need to calculate the zakat missed over the previous years and then pay that. You need to make the most accurate estimate of your wealth that you can, by referring back to all your incoming money and savings, as well as outgoings such as bills, rent, expenses etc. Please refer to your bank statements and other transactions so that you can make the best possible estimate.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
