Question

I have a gold shop. Every year on the 10th of Ramadan my zakat year is completed. This year in the month of Muharram all the gold in my shop was stolen. As a result, I became helpless and indebted to many people. My great uncle lives in America. He heard this news and helped me with several lakhs of rupees. I started the business again with that money. By the grace of Allah, at the end of the year, I became the owner of Nesab amount of wealth again. Now my question to the Mufti is, is Zakat obligatory on me in this situation? Or will it be obligatory next year? Note that I did not have any zakatable wealth other than that. 6967757291

Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

According to the description in question, since the middle of the year, all your assets have been stolen. Even if you have become indebted and you did not have any zakatable assets at that time, so even if you own a nesab amount of wealth at the end of this year, zakat of the previous year is not obligatory on you; Rather, from the time of the year when you have re-owned the amount of nesab amount, the reckoning of the year of zakat will start anew and from then on you will pay zakat after one full year. 6294572226
