Chapter on Categories Upon Whom Zakat is Obligatory
وَ سَأَلَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلنُّعْمَانِ اَلْأَحْوَلُ: عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَجَّلَ زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ ثُمَّ أَيْسَرَ اَلْمُعْطَى قَبْلَ رَأْسِ اَلسَّنَةِ قَالَ «يُعِيدُ اَلْمُعْطِي اَلزَّكَاةَ.
Muhammad ibn al-Nu'man al-Ahwal asked him (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام) about a man who advanced the Zakat of his wealth, but the recipient became wealthy before the year's end. Imam عليه السلام replied: "The giver must pay the Zakat again."
