Must Zakat be paid on shares for the past two years, and what is its amount, and is it permissible to give it to a needy brother who is about to get married?

on shares must be paid based on their type and the intention behind owning them. If the company pays zakat on behalf of its shareholders, that suffices; otherwise, the shareholder is responsible for paying zakat. It is permissible to give zakat to a brother if he is in need of money for marriage.
