Q: The following is an usool question which I would like clarity in. I told the brothers they could pay zakaat earlier then the time it is due. For example Ramadan is in a week so give it now to benefit the poor. The people said it makes no sense. They said, then why can I not fast a month earlier. Why can I not pray Salaah a day before?
