The ruling on voluntary charity in place of zakah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If I always give charity and I have a girl for whom I did not mention it, is it considered charity or zakah?

Answer:
No, it is not considered zakah; because voluntary charity does not suffice for the obligatory zakah, so it is necessary to discharge the zakah that is in your liability and to pay it out immediately. This voluntary charity has a different status; you will be rewarded for it, if Allah wills.
