Giving voluntary charity before obligatory zakah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: My wealth has reached the threshold for zakah. She says: I give voluntary charity before the obligatory zakah. Will my charity be accepted before I pay the zakah?
Answer:
If the zakah is paid at its due time, there is nothing wrong with giving charity before it. However, if this results in delaying the zakah past its due time, that is not permissible.
