Giving money in charity with the intention of zakaat

· 6 Jumada I 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If I give constant charity (10 times my zakaat amount) and pray to Allah to accept as my zakaat first then the rest as sadqa because He knows it all. I forget my zakat hisaab. Can I do that?

Answer

If at the time of giving that wealth you had the niyyat of zakaat the zakaat is valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
