The answer

You are not obligated to pay if the certified check has left your possession, and you cannot dispose of the corresponding funds. However, if the check is still in your possession, or if the sale has not yet been completed, then Zakat is obligatory when a full year (hawl) has passed, because in this case, the money has not yet left your ownership.
