Chapter on Hastening Zakat and Delaying It Beyond the Times in Which It Becomes Obligatory
سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُخْرِجُ زَكَاتَهُ فَيَقْسِمُ بَعْضَهَا وَ يَبْقَى بَعْضٌ يَلْتَمِسُ لَهَا اَلْمَوَاضِعَ فَيَكُونُ بَيْنَ أَوَّلِهِ وَ آخِرِهِ ثَلاَثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ قَالَ» لاَ بَأْسَ«.
Sa’ad ibn Abdullah, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from al-Husayn ibn Said, from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd, from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him:
Imam عليه السلام was asked regarding ‘a man who takes out his zakat, then distributes part of it, while some remains, seeking the proper places for it, and there is between its beginning and its end three months.’ Imam عليه السلام said: “There is no harm.”
