The answer

It is not permissible to give to parents on the basis of their poverty or destitution. As for someone who has not confirmed the completion of a full year (hawl) on the (threshold amount), zakat is not obligatory upon him, because the default is the exoneration of responsibility. And whoever has confirmed the obligation of zakat and paid it, then forgot the time of obligation in the following year, he must pay it at the time he most likely believes coincides with the time of obligation.
