Q 6: In the past,
I gave some land as part of my Zakah payment to someone (Part No. 9; Page No. 463) who had told me that he was in a bad situation. Years later, I discovered - through information I received about him - that he had not been a rightful Zakah recipient.
Do I have to pay the same amount as Zakah again?
A:
If the situation is as you mentioned, then it will have counted for you as Zakah money, because when you gave it to him you thought that he had a right to Zakah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
