After I calculate my Zakaat it turns out to be a big amount. I would like to take out this money and keep it separately and pay this family monthly throughout the year to support them as I fear that if I send them the entire amount, they will spend it early and again be without income.

However, when it comes to the distribution of Zakat, Islamic law requires that the ownership (tamleek) of the Zakat amount is transferred completely to eligible recipients at the time of distribution. This means the recipients must gain full control over the amount as soon as it is given, allowing them to use it as they see fit. <a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Distributing Zakat in monthly instalments to manage the family&#8217;s financial stability, although has good intention, does not fulfil the requirement of tamleek because the entire Zakat amount is not transferred to the recipient\u2019s ownership immediately. The recipients should have the choice to use the Zakat funds according to their choice, which includes the option to save or spend the money as needed. <a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">If you are concerned about how they will manage the finance, another option could be to provide guidance or connect them with financial planning resources to help them manage the funds more efficiently. Alternatively, you could look into reputable organisations that manage Zakat and can maintain that your Zakat is used effectively and responsibly to support those in need over a longer period, but this should be done in a way that still adheres to the principles of immediate ownership transfer. <a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;
