Saving the agent's portion of the zakat money to distribute it after Ramadan
If a person is entrusted with an amount of zakat to distribute during the blessed month of Ramadan to students of knowledge and needy families, and he knows that they will need additional funds afterward, is he allowed to save part of the money for expenses after Ramadan?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is possible to postpone its payment as deemed appropriate for the poor if it is not restricted to being paid now, and God knows best.
