The answer

Zakat is obligatory upon anyone who possesses the nisab (the equivalent of 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver) and a full lunar year (hawl) has passed on it, even if the money was designated for other purposes. The overdue Zakat must be paid immediately with repentance, and it is a quarter of a tenth (2.5%). Ignorance of the obligation of Zakat does not waive it, and one must hasten to pay it for all previous years.
