Q: I have to pay zakat for the previous year on some date in January and sometime ago I lost some of my gold. They were misplaced and one top went into the gutter. So do I need to pay zakat of the prev year on january for the misplaced items and what about the one which is gone into the gutter?
A: You will not pay zakaat for it.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
