At that point, Zakat becomes obligatory. The heir may choose to pay Zakat at the end of the hawl (Zakat year) or delay it until they receive the money, then pay Zakat for the elapsed period, as long as they are unable to take possession of it. However, if they are able to take possession of it, Zakat becomes obligatory on them at the end of each hawl.
