Q:
1. can I give zakat in qest I mean I have to give 2500 zakat so can I give it 500 per month or I should give it all together.
2 And if I qaza of one year zakat, is it sinful?
3. If I give some money to another person as qarz, is zakaat farz on that money?
A:
1. Both ways are right. It is better to discharge the fardh zakaat straight away rather than delaying.
2. To delay it is not right.
3. After you receive payment then the zakaat must be paid on the passed years.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
