Inherited Wealth & Zakat:
Two views:
View 1 (Majority):
Start new Zakat year from date of inheritance
View 2 (Some scholars):
Zakat due immediately if deceased owed it
Recommended approach:
1. Check if deceased owed Zakat → pay from estate
2. For your inherited share → start new year
Example:
- Inherited: 1,000,000 (March 2024)
- Zakat due: March 2025
- Amount: 1,000,000 × 2.5%
Purify your inheritance by paying Zakat properly.
For your specific situation, please consult a qualified scholar or your local mosque.
And Allah knows best.
