When in Ramadhaan do I need to pay Az-Zakah?
There is a difference between zakatul maal and zalatul fitr.
Zakatul fitr is due upon a Muslim at the end of the month of Ramadhaan. Every Muslim must pay this at the end of the fasting month. This is given in the form of food to those who are needy. It is given either on the day of shawwal before salaatul Eid or at the end of Ramadhaan.
Zakatul fitr is not to be confused with zakatul maal.
Zakatul maal is what a person owes on his/ her property. Zakatul maal is not necessarily due in Ramadhaan. This is a misconception. You could potentially pay zakah in any of the Islaamic months in the Islaamic lunar calendar. And if they had the money the whole year, then the zakah is due on that money. The date for paying zakatul maal is different for each and every individual, depending on whatever is the annual date every Islaamic year that they chose to pay their zakah.
