A: If zakaat is waajib upon you and you wish to discharge the zakaat of the coming year in advance (after discharging the zakaat of the present year), it will be permissible provided at the time of discharging one makes the niyyah of the zakaat being for the following year.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
