Missed Zakat Guide
Missed Zakat is a common issue, with lots of causes. Some people knowingly miss it, others forget, and many just make a mistake when working out the amount. Catching up on missed Zakat can seem like a daunting task but it’s important you get it right, as Zakat remains a debt and can’t be written off.
Where to begin
First things first, check if you have missed or wrongly worked out your past Zakat.
- Someone has enough money in their account to pay Zakat but doesn’t realise or think about it
- A student or graduate doesn’t realise they have to pay Zakat even though they have taken out a student loan
- A person is not sure whether they need to pay Zakat on jewellery
- A person doesn’t differentiate between their personal and business assets
- Someone is confused about paying Zakat on their pension
- A married couple wrongly believes they should work out their Zakat as a couple rather than individually
If some or all the above sound like you, you may have missed Zakat.
