Zakat as a New Muslim

[bartdanr]

As-sa-la-moo ‘a-lay-koom wa rah-ma-tul-lah.

When one reverts to Islam, how does he pay his first Zakat? Do you just pay 1 year's worth of Zakat, or must you make up all the prior years when you were not a Muslim?

Best to consult a scholar to talk you through process but afaik it's not for your time as a kafir

You just wait the first year out and then pay it from then onward.
