6958. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ added, "If the owner of camels does not pay their Zakāt, then, on the Day of Resurrection those camels will come to him and will strike his face with their hooves." Some people said: Concerning a man who has camels, and is afraid that Zakāt will be due so he sells those camels for similar camels or for sheep or cows or money one day before Zakāt becomes due, in order to avoid payment of their Zakāt cunningly! "He has not to pay anything." The same scholar said, "If one pays Zakāt of his camels one day or one year prior to the end of the year (by the end of which Zakāt becomes due), his Zakāt will be valid." [See Faṭh Al-Barī].

Arabic text

6958 - وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا مَا رَبُّ النَّعَمِ لَمْ يُعْطِ حَقَّهَا تُسَلَّطُ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ، فَتَخْبِطُ وَجْهَهُ بِأَخْفَافِهَا» وَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ: " فِي رَجُلٍ لَهُ إِبِلٌ، فَخَافَ أَنْ تَجِبَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّدَقَةُ، فَبَاعَهَا بِإِبِلٍ مِثْلِهَا أَوْ بِغَنَمٍ أَوْ بِبَقَرٍ أَوْ بِدَرَاهِمَ، فِرَارًا مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ بِيَوْمٍ احْتِيَالًا، فَلاَ بَأْسَ عَلَيْهِ. وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: إِنْ زَكَّى إِبِلَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَحُولَ الحَوْلُ بِيَوْمٍ أَوْ بِسِتَّةٍ جَازَتْ عَنْهُ
