Paying Zakat in Installments
I have an amount of Zakat money that is not large, and I have a poor sister who wants clothes for her children. Is it permissible for me to buy her the clothes and pay the amount in advance as a monthly installment, since the clothes are more expensive than the amount I have?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible to pay zakat in installments, and it is permissible to pay a portion of the zakat as a payment for clothing, as you have mentioned, and God knows best.
