قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) الرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ الْمَالُ أَ يُزَكِّيهِ إِذَا مَضَى نِصْفُ السَّنَةِ قَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ حَتَّى يَحُولَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَوْلُ وَ يَحِلَّ عَلَيْهِ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ صَلَاةً إِلَّا لِوَقْتِهَا وَ كَذَلِكَ الزَّكَاةُ وَ لَا يَصُومُ أَحَدٌ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ إِلَّا فِي شَهْرِهِ إِلَّا قَضَاءً وَ كُلُّ فَرِيضَةٍ إِنَّمَا تُؤَدَّى إِذَا حَلَّتْ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Umar Bin Yazeed who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘The man happens to have some wealth in his possession, can he purify it (pay <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>) when half the year passes by?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, but until the year passes by over it, and it becomes due upon him. It is not for anyone that he prays <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> except in its timing, and similar to that is the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>; and no one can Fast for a Month of Ramazan except during its Month, except for paying back the outstanding Fast; and every Obligation, but rather, is rendered when due’.
