Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it possible to pay out a portion of the zakah on the coins in the month of Ramadan, given that the lunar year has not yet passed for them, and the lunar year will not arrive for about four more months?
Answer:
It is permissible to advance the zakah for a valid purpose. So if you advance it in Ramadan for the virtue of the time or for the need of the poor, it is permissible to advance it for a valid purpose; there is no harm in that.
