The Ruling on Delaying Charity Beyond Its Specified Time
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I gave one of the brothers a sum of money to be given as charity in Makkah during Ramadan, but, but, but Ramadan ended and the festival began, and I had not yet given it as charity. So should I give it as charity in Ramadan at this time, or what should I do?
Answer:
It is obligatory for you to give it as charity at the time specified, even if that is after Ramadan, in al-Masjid al-Haram. Do not delay it until the next Ramadan. This is what is obligatory for you. As for the fact that you delayed it until this time, I erred in this, but in any case, it is obligatory for you to give out this money as charity in the place your companion told you, even if it is late.
