Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I gave approximately twenty thousand as zakah in the year 1411 AH, then I calculated the zakah of my wealth in this same year and found it to be fifteen thousand. Is it permissible to consider the excess as part of the zakah for the year 1412 AH, even without intention?
The Shaykh : What is 1411 and what
The questioner : and 1412
The Shaykh : and 1414
The questioner : and 1412
The questioner : next year
The Shaykh : 1412. Yes, if the zakah reached eleven thousand in the previous year, and then you calculated and found that the zakah of the wealth reached twelve thousand, then look at this profit, whose zakah was one thousand, which is forty thousand. Was it before the completion of the lunar year of 1411 AH or after it? If it was before the completion of the lunar year of 1411 AH, then it is obligatory to add the one thousand to the zakah of 1411 AH, so the zakah becomes twelve thousand. However, if this one thousand, or rather if these forty thousand, were acquired after the completion of the lunar year of 1411 AH, then zakah is not obligatory on them until a full lunar year has passed over them. Yes.
The questioner : He gave an excess. When he calculated, he found that the zakah due on him was less. Does he count the excess for the following year?
The Shaykh : This is the meaning.
The questioner : This is his question. He gave an excess without calculation, and when he calculated, he found that his zakah was less. So he counts this excess
The Shaykh : I understood, I understood. It means he made a mistake in the estimate and gave more than what was obligatory for the year 1411 AH. Does he count it from the zakah of the next year? We say no, he does not count it from the zakah of the next year because he did not intend it for that year. However, it is a charity that brings him closer to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1 Yes.
