Can Zakah be given in advance? And will the money given in advance be added while calculating zakah?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Can I give zakah in advance? If I can so when I will calculate zakah the money I gave in advance will be added in my total wealth while calculating zakah?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 1085/1100/L=9/1438)

You may pay the zakah of the nisab money before one year completes over it and when you calculate the zakah after passing the year then deduct the amount of zakah which you have already paid. It is not necessary to pay its zakah of again.
