Zakat Payment On One's Behalf Without One’s Knowledge Or Permission
Is it valid for another to pay zakat on my behalf without my knowledge or permission?
It is impermissible (and the payment invalid) if zakat is paid on one’s behalf without one's knowledge or permission, even if from a distributor authorized to perform other financial and legal functions on behalf of one, and even if one later agrees to the zakat having been paid without one's knowledge (because the payment was not preceded by an intention); there is no obligation to repay the third party making the unauthorized disbursement.
