Question:
From the questions: He says: Regarding charity and zakah, are they specified for Ramadan? And why do people so often specify Ramadan?
Answer:
Zakah is paid when the lunar year of possession is completed, whether in Ramadan or in any other month. Likewise, charity has no specific time; it is given according to need and the presence of those in need at all times. However, some people are keen to pay their zakah or give charity in Ramadan because of the honor of the time and the honor of the moment. If this coincides with Ramadan, it is a good thing. But holding back charity or holding back zakah until Ramadan arrives, while those in need are present, is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
