Zakat on Stocks with Stopped Profits

Question
A woman who does not work has stocks and was accustomed to paying Zakat on the annual profits. With the Corona crisis, these profits have stopped. Does she need to sell part of the stocks to pay the Zakat?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: she should sell part of the shares and give zakat on it if she does not possess any other money, and God knows best.
