You must estimate on the date and pay zakat on every year that you’ve had it in your possession for over one lunar year if it reached the nisab level. It must be given to a poor and needy Muslim in the form of cash. If you don’t have cash to pay it, you must sell some of the gold.

Shiekh how to calculate unpaid zakaat on gold where the date of purchasing is not known and its purchased on different dates. What if the zakaat is more than my income, can I pay from my monthly salary for 1 or 2 years every month. Can it be given to same person every month?

Is it true? Wealth that is being saved to get married, to build a home or for other purposes is subject to zakaah if it reaches the nisaab and one full year has passed, whether it is gold, silver or cash, because of the general meaning of the evidence which indicates that zakaah is obligatory on that which reaches the nisaab and one full year has passed, with no exceptions.
