Going bankrupt after paying zakah

Question

I disburse my zakah before the completion of the year and then 3 months later went bankrupt. Is there any way for me to obtain a refund on my zakah?

Answer

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الجواب حامدا ومصليا ومسلما

The zakah you paid is non-refundable. However, this amount may be calculated towards zakah which becomes due upon you in the future.

والله اعلم

Allah Knows best.
