Yes, Zakat can be paid in installments. This can be helpful if someone is not able to pay the full amount at once.

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.
