Commentary
A person possessing Nisâb of gold, silver and cash money, should personally make payment of the amount of Zakât at the local collecting place. As for the Zakât due on grain, crops and cattle, an appointed collecting officer of Islamic government will visit the person possessing the Nisâb and collect it.
The relationship between public and government is of love and respect in an Islamic society. The Zakât collector should thank the person paying Zakât and pray for him.
