Performing good deeds in virtuous times, such as the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah, the day of Arafah, , and its last ten nights, has a special merit. If the due date of coincides with these virtuous times, or if Zakat is paid in advance during these times, then its payment is more virtuous. However, if this leads to delaying Zakat beyond its due time, then it is not permissible.
