Q: At my previous job, some years back there was a provident fund which I contributed a certain percentage and the company contributed a certain percentage. However after I left that job I forgot about that money and now while trying to take it out from the fund, I am experiencing difficulties as many years passed by and the account became redundant. Do I have to pay zakaat on that amount.
A: As a precautionary measure pay the zakaat of your contribution.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
