Abstract :This research has shown, through the objectives of the study, the ruling on hastening and postponing zakat, which is one of the important jurisprudential issues today, despite the fact that the two issues are old, but contemporary calamities need continuous follow-up, especially in light of the emergence of successive economic crises in recent years. The researcher followed the descriptive inductive approach, through which he dealt with two main researches that talked about a brief in the concepts of acceleration and delay, then mentioned the evidence of those who prevented them, the evidence of those permissible, and the economic and social effects of them, and touched on the importance of accelerating Zakat in light of the economic crises, including the Corona crisis that the world is experiencing today. The research also found that the acceleration and delay of Zakat affects the usual pattern of consumption, in addition to the necessity to consider alternatives that may be followed by the guardian or the competent authorities in regulating economic activity at the local level. The importance of accelerating Zakat and its strong impact is also evident in light of the urgent need for it, as it is considered a fundamental, important and effective tool in the financial system. This is what the researcher tried to show, in stating very brief and precise points, and the balance between the legal side of the two issues and the economic aspect. The study concluded that accelerating Zakat today is an important matter, and a powerful and effective tool in light of the global crisis.
