What is the ruling on inherited money on which zakat was not paid due to ignorance, and how is its zakat calculated after years have passed? What is the start date for the calculation, and is the Hijri year a condition? Is the money collected to be zakated, or does each heir zakat their share? Is it permissible to delegate an individual to disburse it? To whom is zakat given among relatives and strangers? Is zakat obligatory on the inherited car money that was sold? What is the ruling on zakat for loaned money that the debtor procrastinates in repaying?

First: If Zakat became due on your father's wealth during his lifetime and he did not pay it, then you must pay it after his death, because it is a debt that takes precedence over the rights of the heirs.

Second: Each heir should consider their share of the inheritance. If their share alone does not reach the nisab, nor does it reach the nisab when combined with their other wealth, then there is no Zakat due on them. If it reaches the nisab when combined with their other wealth, then a lunar year begins from that point.

Third: The hawl (Zakat year) for inherited wealth begins from the death of the inheritor, unless the wealth is not accessible or is delayed for reasons beyond the heirs' control. The Islamic Fiqh Council has ruled that Zakat is obligatory on it, just like accessible wealth.

Fourth: Zakat is not forfeited due to ignorance or forgetfulness; it remains a debt that must be paid immediately upon ability.

Fifth: It is permissible to appoint a trustworthy person to pay Zakat and distribute it to its rightful recipients.

Sixth: It is permissible to give Zakat to needy relatives whose financial support is not obligatory upon the Zakat payer. This is superior, as it combines charity with maintaining kinship ties.

Seventh: Giving Zakat to an abusive relative has many benefits, including conciliating them and repelling their harm with kindness.

Eighth: The price of the sold car and the inherited money paid as a debt: each heir adds their share of it to what they possess, and Zakat is paid on it according to their situation after receiving it.

Ninth: Zakat calculation is based on the lunar year. One who calculates it using the solar year without excuse is sinful for delaying Zakat beyond its due time.
