Question
A woman did not pay Zakaat for a number of years. She is unable to recall what her financial status was each year. How should she compensate for the past unpaid Zakaat?
Answer
The person who cannot determine her Zakaat position for the past years, should make Taharri (reflect) and seek a fatwa from the heart. Whatever her heart says, she should act accordingly. She should sincerely try to figure out whether she had to pay Zakaat or not.
