May Zakat Be Paid In Instalments?

Fatwas

May zakat be paid in instalments?

The essential point for zakat is to give it as soon as possible after becoming obliged. But if one is not able to pay it all at once, it may be given within one year in instalments. (See Ibn Abidin , Radd al-Muhtar, III, 191, 192).
