What happens if one uses another for zakat when they have other means?
Bap52
Zakat is a form of worship to Almight Allah. The intent of zakat is to allow those who have resources, which Allah has provided, to share those resources with those not as blessed by Allah. Zakat is a worship to Allah, seeking his good pleasure and blessing. If one is to use zakat when they have other means then they are doing two things incorrectly. First the are subverting their worship of Allah and that is never a good thing to do. Secondly they are dening the zakat that we intended for someone else. We must be careful when you say that a person is using zakat but still has other means, for we may not know the full burden that they carry.

Can zakat be given to a person before Ramadan starts as not to know and hurt the feelings of the other person?
Few points - It is the "right" of the poor people to get zakat from the rich. The rich are not doing them any favour. The rich have to obey the orders of Allah. This means that poor should not be ashmed to take zakat. - The poor is doing favour by accepting the zakat and not the other way round. Another reason why poor should not be ashmed to take zakat. - Zakat can be given any time of the year but its calculation should be kept at the same time of year. maybe January 2nd of every year or say 1st Ramadhan of every year etc. - People give Zakat in Ramadhan only because you get more blesssings from Allah during that month. Its not mandatory to give zakat only in Ramadhan. It is only mandatory to finish giving before eid. - There are many people who keep giving zakat all round the year because of many reasons 1) they don't want to say no if deserving person is in need 2) the zakat amount is huge so they ease the burden by giving it slowly over the year.
