Salam, I just wanted to know how to pay off my mom's zakat for the past many many years. I do not know when was the last time my father paid zakat. Though he is the most generous of people, sometimes too generous. Worried about our zakat debt, i asked him about it, he said I keep giving a lot of sadaqa, like often he'll pay off some poor guys rent, or buy them ration, or pay for their hospital bills, etc. Now my father doesn't have a steady job, his business went bankrupt many years ago so he is helped by his family, we live very modestly, although our flat is worth a lot in the market. My mom has quite a lot of gold, half of which was sold off by my father some years back. I understand it is my mothers obligation and not my fathers to pay zakat? She doesnt work, so how can she pay it? Also my father doesnt have any spare money left to leave to her, so she can't save up and pay it off. I believe the zakah would amount to near 30k that is just a very very rough estimate. How do we pay it off for all the years???? 30k is a very very big amount for us.
