A friend recently converted and I am teaching him Hanafi Fiqh. He has been Muslim for 3 months, when does he first have to pay zakat, now or after being Muslim 1 year?

Answer:

Zakat on his assets will be due only one year after accepting Islam. However, if he discharges it before the completion of one year, it will be valid.

And Allah Ta’ala knows best
