Summary
Under Islamic law, distributing zakat personally to eligible recipients is valid. However, breaching government rules and regulations on matters of good is sinful, since obeying the ruler (Ulil Amri) in good matters is obligatory. Zakat that met the conditions of obligation but was not paid on time must be made up (qada).
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mengenai hukum qada. zakat, ia wajib dilakukan bagi zakat yang telah memenuhi syarat wajib tetapi tidak ditunaikan pada masa yang sepatutnya.
