Giving a needy person sadaqah

Q: I get Rs. 10,000 as salary per month and give out 10 percent of it (i.e Rs. 1000) as sadaqa every month. A needy person wants Rs. 12000. Can I give him total 12000 of my sadaqa amount considering it as an advance sadaqa for the next 12 month salaries?

A: Yes.

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