The answer

If wealth reaches the nisab (minimum threshold) and a full year has passed over it, its zakat becomes obligatory. One must hasten to repent for the sin of delaying its payment. Charitable donations and aid are not counted as zakat unless they were intended as zakat and the beneficiaries are among those eligible to receive zakat.
