ANSWER: No, this is not permissible. You must instruct him to give it away to poor and needy Muslims on the day your zakat is due (a few days of delay is fine, but not more than that) If you want to give it on a monthly basis you can give next year’s zakat in advance QUESTION: If I give Zakath to a person and that person distributes it on monthly basis, is this permissible ?
