Is one regarded as sinful for delaying the paying of Zakat to such an extent that a year passes ?
Fatawa Question
My Zakat is calculated yearly on 16th Sha’ban. This year for example, it was £ 500. My habit is to split the £ 500 into 11 monthly payments. My aim is to pay the Zakat £ 500 before the next years Sha’ban. However, sometimes I budget and maybe miss a few months. Thus for example by 16th Shaban I calculate my Zakat and add the missing months from the previous year, thus carry over the outstanding Zakat debt from the previous year. If I carry this over, am I regarded as sinful ? Or is it a must to pay by Sha’ban each year.
