Question:
Abu Salih from Dammam says: I paid the zakah of my wealth, then it became clear that what I paid was much more than what was obligatory on me. So, may I count the excess over the obligatory amount as early zakah for the coming year?
Answer:
No, once it has been paid, you do not count it as zakah, but you count it as voluntary charity. You count it as voluntary charity, and there is reward in it, if Allah wills. Yes.
