Summary
Paying zakat by credit card through the Easy Payment method is permissible subject to conditions. The card must be Shariah-compliant, and the cardholder must ensure it allows monthly instalments and that the zakat can be settled in instalments over the chosen period under the bank's terms. All bank fees or charges are borne entirely by the company or organisation appointed by MAIWP as amil, and the method is only an optional alternative for zakat payers.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
