Discharging zakaat for previous years
Question
If one has not payed zakaat for previous years and now wishes to do so, will they calculate when they became saahib nisab based on todays nisab or nisab of that particular day?
Answer
If it was cash you will look at the nisaab amount of the past.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
