You still have to pay zakat if you have savings that exceed the threshold.

Sheikh the government takes alot of tax from us, the amount we pay is a very large proportion of our sales and profits, do we still have to pay zakat or is it included in the tax, as the tax amount is used on the poor or the running of the country?

My husband is eligible to receive zakat (he has no income) and I want to give him my zakat. If he keeps the zakat cash that I gave him at home and I spend out of it for me or our child, is it wrong? Usually he comes home late and I can go out (with my husband’s permission) and get our necessities whenever I need it easily.

Ya shaykh when I was 18 years old I worked and earned £4,800 yearly for seven years between 1987-1994. I don’t remember paying zakat so what should I do?
