If the zakat payer does not pay the zakat on his wealth that reached the نصاب (minimum amount on which zakat is due) in the first hawl (zakat year), and then invests it and it increases in the second hawl, does the poor person deserve a share of the profit from the invested wealth according to his share of the zakat, based on the opinion that zakat relates to the عين المال (the very substance/identity of the wealth)?
