The Details of the Question
- I had enough gold to give zakah in 1998 and 1999 but I did not give zakah then. I encashed my gold in 2000. I want to give zakah for my gold in those years. Should I calculate the value of the gold based on this year or the year when I had that gold?

The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
A Muslim who has gold, silver, money, commercial goods, animals, agricultural crops, etc., he has to give a certain amount of it as zakah. For instance, if he has gold, he has to give one-fortieth of the gold as zakah; what he owes as zakah is gold, not money.
If a Muslim did not give his zakah on time, he will have to give the same amount of gold or its equivalent today.
