Question:
This questioner says: Is it permissible to pay zakah before its due date?
Answer:
If it is for a valid reason, such as the need of a poor person, there is nothing wrong with paying it early before its due date. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) may have paid it early from his uncle al-Abbas if it was for two years. Yes.
