Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on advancing the payment of zakah on wealth and delaying this zakah for months?
Answer:
Answer: No; you must pay the zakah immediately when it becomes obligatory. It is not to be delayed except for a valid legal excuse, such as not having the money available, or waiting for those in need, or similar matters for which the payment of zakah may be postponed. Otherwise, the principle is that zakah is to be paid immediately, and one should hasten to pay it when it becomes due.
