Zakat

Assalamualaykum Shaikh, one question. can i keep aside zakat money to intend to pay after going India after Eid where I can give it to our deserving needy relative, even if my zakat Lunar year is already completed. what is the ruling, will it be OK to keep aside zakat money and pay later, coz here in UAE money goes to donation box but we want to give to our needy relatives.

Assalamu alaikum Sheik, I would like to know if a person had given zakat on his property last year ,does he have to give zakat on the same property this year as well provided the property is above the nisab level. Some of my friends argue that only once will suffice.Then zakat needs to be given for the extra property that got piled up for this year.How can I reply them with proofs. Jazakallah

Assalamu aliakum, My wifes parents baught a house with a interest bank loan a few years ago when they where not pracitising Muslims. They did not know it was Haram back then. They became religious later and now want to pay the house down so they can live Riba free. Can I help them pay the house down, so that they can pay back the house loan as fast as possible avoiding longer payment of riba?
