Missed Zakat?
Missed Zakat?
Zakat is an important pillar of Islam. Those who fail to fulfill this obligation on time without a valid reason, commit an act of disobedience. However, amending this situation is possible to pay the missed Zakat as soon as possible.

What does it mean to miss paying Zakat?
While it is permissible to pay Zakat in advance, it is not permissible to delay the payment of Zakat without a valid reason.
Therefore, Muslims need to know the importance of paying Zakat on time. Like all the other major pillars of Islam, Zakat needs to be fulfilled in a timely fashion. This payment does not have to be in Ramadan and has nothing to do with the month of fasting.
Payment of Zakat is strictly linked to the accumulation of nisab. After a person owns the value of 85 grams of pure gold, he or she has to start counting time. After the passing of 12 months in the Islamic Calendar, if the person still has the value of the nisab or more, they must make the payment of 2.5% from the total value of their wealth.
Missing to make this payment immediately without a valid excuse is not accepted in Islam.
