Zakaat

Zakaat on Money Returned by a Supplier

Q: If I transferred monies 3 years ago to a supplier overseas, and until now, the supplier has not sent me the goods nor has he returned my money up until now, do I have to pay zakaat on this money. The money is sitting with him 3 years and he might return the money within a month? Do I have to pay zakaat on this money which is not in my possession for 3 years now?

Date of Zakaat

Q: I want to pay my zakaat and I do not know the exact date. It was between February 18 and end of November when I was 9 years old. I am inclined towards more towards November that I became baligh. I do not know which date to choose. Which date must I choose?
