Can you pay zakat in instalments?

Answer 1

Yes, Zakat can be paid in installments. This can be helpful if someone is not able to pay the full amount at once. However, it's best to make sure the full Zakat amount is paid within the same Islamic (lunar) year__ it becomes due.

Paying in parts is allowed, but the full amount should be completed before the next Zakat year. This helps keep the Zakat obligation complete and on time.

Some organizations, like Penny Appeal Canada, allow people to donate Zakat in monthly or custom amounts. According to their Zakat policy, 100% of the donation goes to people in need, with no money taken for administration. They also make sure the Zakat is given to those who are eligible, and they keep the funds in a separate bank account until it's used.

If someone is unsure how to calculate their Zakat, it's a good idea to speak with a scholar or contact the organization for help.

Answer 2

Yes, Zakat can be paid in instalments if needed—especially if it helps you fulfill the obligation in a manageable way. However, the full amount should still be paid within the Zakat year once it becomes due.
