Pay your Zakat online, in whole today, or start paying it in monthly instalments by setting up a direct debit. If the borrower is poor or is refusing to pay the debt, there will be no Zakat on the money until the lender receives the money. If the borrower is a wealthy person that you know will pay back the debt, the lender (that is Halaal lending free of usury) should include that money in the assessment and give its Zakat. This does not include a person who works as an agent for one or two wealthy people to take Zakat for himself. In a hadith reported by Ahmed, Abu Dawud, and Nasa'e, two men came to the Messenger of Allah (saws) and asked for Zakat. If one is to use zakat when they have other means then they are doing two things incorrectly. However the Giver of all things is very clear in the Quran that nobility can be attained by giving freely of that which you love, in this case wealth and luxury. Zariat (51), Ayah 19: "And in their wealth there is a legal claim for the needy who asked and the deprived." Therefore, it is not justifiable to send our zakat outside when there are families in need and deprived right here in our community.

The Prophet, on him be peace, set the nisab threshold for each type of wealth eligible for Zakat, and he fixed the Zakat rate for each type. From the days of the Prophet, on him be peace, Muslims have preferred to pay their Zakat in Ramadan. He should carry on the duty voluntarily, but if he can not distribute the money without being paid, the Zakat payer should pay him for his work. In another hadith reported by Abu Hurairah, the Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever asks people for their money so as to get rich, he is asking for flames of fire. It is up to him to ask for more or less (he should beware)." (Muslim) This hadith indicates the severity of the punishment, the more one asks the more punishment, the less one asks the less the punishment. For money that is easy come easy go, one must be careful about the punishment that awaits the illegal eater.  
  
That is, he will give the Zakat money to any of the eligible recipients of Zakat. This will then give you the total amount of Zakat owed. However, one can delay Zakat on a loan until he receives payment, then return its Zakat for the past years that he was unable to assess for Zakat. Then he will assess it for Zakat of one past due year, but there will be no Zakat in the years before that. It should be paid as soon as possible prior to or at the time that you’ve earned the requisite amount of nisab each lunar year, or one year after you last paid it. However, if your assets consist entirely of gold, you must use the gold nisab, and similarly, if they consist entirely of silver then the silver nisab must be used. Zakat is imposed on growth assets only, not on items of personal use. What is zakat? In Arabic, zakat means purification, growth and blessing. This means every month's income must be set aside and assessed for Zakat and so will be the case for the rest of the months. The needy who want to get married and have no means should be given enough for this purpose, and so, too, the student who needs money for tuition, rent, food, and books.

The poor and the needy should be given what will suffice them and their families for one full year. These people will receive Zakat as compensation for their work, even if they are wealthy. If a person asks for Zakat and there are no signs of wealth, and he does not know that he should not ask, or a person who is well and able, who can work, but does not; if these people do not know that it is not permissible for them to ask, it may be given anyway. However, if a person possesses any of these stones or metals, he should give their Zakat like any other articles of trade. Payment in value is now widely accepted among Muslims, with many Zakat-collecting agencies, like Zakat Foundation of America, converting that currency payment into foodstuffs for distribution at the time of Eid to the destitute, refugees, the displaced and the egregiously poor. Eid al-Fitr 2018 will be held on Thursday, 14 June - Friday, 15 June 2018 (depending on the sighting of the new moon). In the coming month, millions of Muslims around the world will observe Ramadan, which falls during the ninth lunar cycle of the Islamic calendar.
