When is Zakat on wealth due, and does it differ from Zakat al-Fitr, and is it permissible to distribute it among more than one needy person, and does Zakat al-Fitr equal 2.5% of one's wealth?

Inherited wealth is considered acquired wealth. Its zakat calculation begins from the day the inheritor passes away. Zakat becomes due on it after the passage of one lunar year, provided the wealth is of a type on which zakat is obligatory (such as cash and livestock). However, if the inherited item is not of a type on which zakat is obligatory, like personal belongings, then no zakat is due on it.

The difference between the two types of zakat is: - Zakat on wealth: Allah has ordained it on specific categories, and elaborating on this would be lengthy. - Zakat al-Fitr: It is a charity obligatory upon every Muslim who possesses surplus wealth beyond their and their dependents' needs for the day and night of Eid. One pays it on behalf of themselves and those they support. It is one saa’ of dates or barley, and distributing it among the eight categories is obligatory according to the Shafi’i school. It is paid after Fajr prayer and before the Eid prayer.
