I have the Nissab but I didn?t send money yet ? Is it possible to ask a person to pay Zakat for me (in my name) and I?ll pay back that person later ? reason for that is I?m working abroad and I?m afraid my money will not get there in time Jazak Allah
Answer
It is permissible to appoint and request another person to pay Zakaat on behalf of you. The Zakaat will be discharged.
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
