What is the ruling on paying zakah in installments?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the brothers says: He has a pharmacy for selling medicines, and he pays the zakah in installments rather than all at once. Does he owe anything?

Answer:
If he is unable to pay it all at once, and can only afford to pay it in installments, there is nothing wrong with that, because it is a debt in his liability that he pays according to his ability.
