Question:
Yes. He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I have a sum of money, and two months before the hawl elapsed, I used the money to buy cars for work. Is there zakah on this amount?
Answer:
No, it is not due as long as the hawl has not completed for it, then there is no zakah in it. If you spent it on buying cars for work before the hawl, or consumed it and spent it, then there is nothing in it. One of the conditions for the obligation of zakah is the completion of the hawl. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 1792Hasan (Darussalam)

There is not Zakat on wealth until Hawl (one year) has passed.
لا زكاة في مال حتى يحول عليه الحول.
