It is not permissible to delay the distribution of obligatory unless there is a slight excuse, such as the absence of the money or waiting for a righteous or needy relative. It must be given to its rightful recipients immediately upon becoming due. It is not permissible to lend from Zakat money; rather, you lend to your friend from your own private money, or you give him from Zakat if he is among its rightful recipients.
