Q: If someone does kufr or shirk (but later makes tawbah and comes back), do they have to re-do all of the following?
- previous valid zakat
- previous valid fitrana+qurbani
- previous valid prayers + fasts (what if they were in the middle of making up many years worth of qadas?) or can they ignore it and focus on the present and future acts they must do?
Q: I wanted to ask some things related to the payment of zakaat. They are as follows:
I was unaware that I had enough gold previously and now I have to pay zakaat for the last 2.5 years. So will the zakaat of each year be calculated according to the gold value in that year, or according to the current year's gold value?
If I won't pay it all at once, and do it in installments will I be sinful in delaying it further?
