Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Abdullah from Riyadh says: May Allah bless you. What is the ruling on delaying the zakah from Rajab to Ramadan until I reached some of the poor people who need this zakah?
Answer:
It is not permissible to delay the zakah from its time, the time when it becomes obligatory. So he should hasten to pay it out at any time. Once the obligation has occurred, it is not permissible for him to delay it. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says: "And give the zakah." Give the zakah, meaning pay it. Yes.
