Ruling of giving Zakath altogether for previous years

Assalamu Alaikum
Respected Mufti. My name is Syed Saddam. I got married in January 2021. I had 4 tolas of gold. I did not pay zakat on this gold for even one year. In January 2025, I sold this gold for 961,000 rupees. Now I want to pay the zakat for the past four years. Therefore, please kindly tell me how much total zakat I should pay. Based on the above value, I sold the gold after four years. I would be grateful if you calculate my zakat yourself. JazakAllahu Khair.

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

In the situation mentioned, if the enquirer also had a little or some cash along with the four tolas of gold (as usually happens) and the total wealth was equivalent to the value of 58.5 tolas of silver, then, due to being a owner of Nisab, the enquirer was obliged to pay zakat.

The method is as follows: after selling the four tolas of gold at the market rate, the obtained amount, 961,000 rupees, is used to calculate zakat.

Zakat for the first year at 2.5% comes to 24,025 rupees.

For the second year from the remaining cash , zakat is 23,424.375 rupees.

For the third year from the remaining cash, zakat is 22,838.765 rupees.

For the fourth year from the remaining cash, zakat is 22,267.796 rupees.

The total amount of zakat for the four years comes to 92,556 rupees.

مأخَذُ الفَتوی

کما فی الدر المختار: ( نصاب الذھب عشرون مثقالاً و الفضۃ مائتا درھم کل عشرۃ ) دراھم ( وزن سبعۃ مثاقیل ) الخ۔
و فی الرد: تحت: (قولہ عشرون مثقالاً) فما دون ذلک لا زکاۃ فیہ الخ ( باب زکاۃ المال، ج: 2، ص: 295، ط: سعید )۔
و فی بدائع الصنائع : فأما إذا كان له الصنفان جميعا فإن لم يكن كل واحد منهما نصابا بأن كان له عشرة مثاقيل ومائة درهم فإنه يضم أحدهما إلى الآخر في حق تكميل النصاب عندنا (الی قولہ) وأما عند الاختلاف فيختلف الواجب وإذا اتحد المالان معنى فلا يعتبر اختلاف الصورة كعروض التجارة ولهذا يكمل نصاب كل واحد منهما بعروض التجارة ولا يعتبر اختلاف الصورة(فصل مقدارالواجب فی الزکاۃ الذھب ج 2 ص19 ط:دارالکتب العلمیۃ)۔
وفیہ ایضاً: وبيان ذلك أنه إذا كان لرجل مائتا درهم أو عشرين مثقال ذهب فلم يؤد زكاته سنتين يزكي السنة الأولى، وليس عليه للسنة الثانية شيء عند أصحابنا الثلاثة وكذا هذا في مال التجارة، وكذا في السوائم(کتاب الزکاۃ ج2 ص7 ط:دارالکتب العلمیۃ)۔
