The answer

The obligatory zakat on your father's wealth, which he did not pay, must be disbursed. This is based on the verse: "after any bequest he may have made or debt" (An-Nisa: 11). The executor, heir, or ruler must disburse all obligations due from the deceased's estate after his death, even if he did not make a will concerning them. These obligations include debts, Hajj, zakat, vows, and expiations.
