Zakat on a fixed deposit account

السؤال

I have around 8000 pounds in a fixed deposit in an Islamic bank. My money is taken for 2 years and invested in Halal things and then at the end of the two years my money is returned to me with profit InshaAllah also added to it. However I cannot access or withdraw any of the money from the account for the 24 months. Do I have to pay Zakat on it ? The money I do have access to (ie : my spending money) is below the Nissab as I still live with my parents and am a student. I have read that because I cannot access the bank money I do not have to pay Zakat but that when I get possession of the £ 8000 again I should pay the Zakat for one year. Is this correct ? I am unable to pay the Zakat at the moment if I have to pay the Zakat for the money in the fixed account as my current account doesn’t have the money.
