Paying Zakat in Installments

Question
I have an amount of money and I want to pay Zakat on it, and I give a certain amount monthly to a needy family. Is this permissible?

I say, and with God's success: It is permissible to give zakat directly or in installments, as you are doing, and this is a great good, and God knows best.
