Is it permissible to give Zakat at the beginning of Rajab, presuming that hastening it is better, or is there flexibility in the matter if it is advanced by a few days within the same month? Is it obligatory to give it in the country of residence or in one's homeland? And is delaying it until traveling for the annual leave to give it by hand, to avoid showing off, considered a legitimate excuse, especially if the period between its due time and the leave is approximately two months?

Zakat must be paid immediately on the day it becomes due. It is permissible to estimate the due date by paying it at the beginning of the month. It is not permissible to delay the payment of Zakat for two months under the pretext of returning to your country; rather, it must be paid in the country where the wealth is located.
