becomes obligatory on wealth when it reaches the (minimum threshold) and a hawl (full lunar year) passes over it. This Zakat is not waived because it is a right of the poor. It is incumbent upon the man to pay Zakat for every year in which the wealth reached the nisab. He can estimate and pay what clears his liability.
