Should Zakah be paid only once a year?

8. March 2011

The early Muslims actually paid Zakah everyday instead of paying in a large bulk once a year.
Some scholars have advised that we plan in advance for our Zakah because we might die and our inheritors may not pay the Zakah we owe.
Another group of scholars say for businesses, you should pay in advance. The way you would do this is by estimating how much business you will make and pay 2.5 percent.
If you decide to pay Zakah daily, give a specific amount to one of the eight categories, but nobody but you and Allah should know that you are giving, since some will feel it demeaning and insulting.
