Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this person asks: Is there any issue with the one who makes Ramadan the time for paying his zakah?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, except that he should not delay it past its due time if its time is significantly earlier, significantly earlier than the month of Ramadan. He should not hold onto it until the month of Ramadan arrives. However, if it becomes due in Ramadan or close to Ramadan, and he wants the virtue of that time, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
