Zakaat

Zakaat on a debt that is payable after a long period of time

Q: Zaid and Ahmad are partners in a business. Zaid wishes to sell his share to his partner for R10 million. The payment terms agreed upon are that half the amount will be paid cash and the other half will be paid AFTER 48 months in 12 equal monthly installments.

Is Zaid liable to pay zakat on the R5 million owing to him during these 48 months?

Reward for making an intention to give sadaqah multiple times during the day

Q: Through out the day I keep on making intention that I will give one pence of sadqah and keep the record of how many times I've said it on my notes in my phone. At the end of the day I've recorded that I've made intention of giving sadqah of 1 pence 98 times and then at the end of the day I give £0.98 in sadaqah just once.

I just want to know, do I get separate reward 98 times for making intention and writing it down as sadqah or do I get only one reward when I donate that 98 pence together at the end of the day? Is this bidah
