Waiting for an Islamic year to pass for zakaat to be waajib

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: A female becomes baligh and is already in possesion of wealth which makes her liable for Zakaat – does she have to wait one year – that is, must she be in possesion of the wealth as a ‘major’ (as opposed to being a minor) for one year before paying zakaat?

Bismillaah

A: Yes.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
