Ruling on paying zakah on wealth every month
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says in his letter or in his question: Is it permissible to pay zakah on wealth every month? Some of our brothers have issued a ruling for us on this matter. May Allah reward you.
Answer:
Yes, if he sees the benefit in it, he hastens it. If he sees the benefit in it, there is no harm. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to hasten to take some of al-Abbas's zakah .
The point is: if he sees benefit in hastening it, that is a race to do good. For example, his zakah due in Ramadan, but if he sees poor people in need and hastens it to them in Rajab or in Jumada, he is rewarded and there is no harm. Yes.
The presenter: Is it not a condition, O Shaykh, that a lunar year must pass over it?
The Shaykh: It is not a condition. No.
The presenter: It is not a condition.
The Shaykh: It is a condition for the obligation. It does not become obligatory upon him until a lunar year has passed over it. But if he hastens it before the year has passed, seeking the reward, he is rewarded.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
