Delaying Zakah Until Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Specifying Ramadan for paying zakah, when my zakah becomes due in Sha'ban.

Answer:
There is no harm in delaying it for a short period, meaning one aims for the season of worship, which is Ramadan, to magnify his reward in that, and because the needy need it more in Ramadan. So there is no harm in that if he delays it by a short amount to catch the virtue of Ramadan and pay it out in the month of Ramadan. Yes.
