The Ruling on Distributing Zakat in Installments Before the Year Completes

Question
Is it permissible to divide the zakat over the year even though the year completes in month 8?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The one giving zakat can pay it in the way he chooses: immediately, deferred, or in installments, and God knows best.
