Question |
|
What do respected scholars of Islam and Muftis of Shari’ah say about the following issue: While paying Zakah in advance, a person gives extra amount by mistake.Will the extra amount paid in advance be included in the Zakah for the next year that has not yet even started? |
|
بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ |
|
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ
الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ |
|
In the situation
mentioned in the question, the extra amount of Zakah you paid by mistake can
be included in the Zakah of the next year.Because it is permissible for the
owner of Nisaab to pay the Zakah of coming years, in advance. |
