Question
I have set aside my Zakaat money. When someone needy comes, I give Zakaat from this amount. After a year there still remains an amount from this Zakaat. Do I have to pay Zakaat on it?
Answer
You have to pay Zakaat on it as long as it is in your possession. Even if the intention is to use the money for Zakaat, it remains in your ownership, hence you have to pay Zakaat on it.
