The answer

If the money you inherited from your father reaches the and a full year (hawl) has passed while it is in your possession, then you are obliged to pay . It is unlawful for you to withhold it on the pretext that you wish to keep it. The small amount of the pension does not invalidate the zakat on gold; rather, the zakat must be paid from the gold itself. It is unlawful to resort to trickery to avoid paying zakat. So, hasten to pay it with a good heart, and Allah will compensate you with something better.
