The ruling on delaying zakah until Ramadan

Question : Now, if someone says, “I would like my zakah to be in Ramadan,” do you allow me to delay the zakah from Muharram until Ramadan?

Answer : We say no, we do not allow it. Delaying the zakah from its time is like delaying the prayer from its time. However, we allow you to advance the zakah that becomes obligatory on you in Muharram and pay it in Ramadan before the day of Muharram. Is that permissible or not permissible? In that case, we say: advance it in Ramadan, and continue to do so whenever Ramadan comes, paying the zakah on what you have. By doing this, you are safe from sin, your soul is cleared, and the matter becomes easy for you.
