Paying Zakat al-Fitr Before the Arrival of Ramadan
Before Ramadan, I gave a poor family an amount of money and intended it as Zakat al-Fitr for my fasting. Is it permissible for me to pay Zakat al-Fitr before the month of Ramadan arrives?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible to give the Zakat al-Fitr at any time, during Ramadan and before Ramadan, and God knows best.
