Question: Zakat for wrong haul year
Assalamu alaykum

I have been paying some backlogs of my zakat for haul year 2024. I used our national online zakat platform and recently discovered that I have paid for the wrong haul year because every time I look at the payment record for that year I thought it is the haul year but it is not, it is actually payment record i made for the particular year. So I have paid more than $1472.5 for haul 2024. Since this is 2 years ago and I now have to make payment for haul 2025, can this huge excess be considered for 2025?

JazakAllahu Khair.

If the extra amount was paid with the intention of Zakat then you can include it in the next year’s Zakat.

And Allah knows best.
