Question
I set aside an amount of money with the intention of it being my Zakaat payment. However, I paid my Zakaat with other money. What is the status of the money which I had set aside with the intention of zakaat? Must I give it to charity?
Answer
The money which you had set aside belongs to you. It is not incumbent to give it to charity. Regardless from which money you paid your Zakaat, you may now use the money which had been set aside.
