What is the ruling on paying zakah in a country other than the zakah-payer's own country

Question : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And may the prayer and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and peace. No supporter.

Answer : Paying zakah in a country other than the zakah-payer's own, such as paying it in Makkah, for example, to people who are not from Makkah. The correct view in this matter is that paying zakah in a country other than the zakah-payer's own is permissible if there is a benefit in doing so, such as if the other country is in greater need, or if the zakah-payer has needy relatives in that other country. If the zakah-payer has needy relatives and wants to pay the zakah to them, there is nothing wrong with that, because zakah paid to needy relatives is both charity and maintaining family ties.
However, if there is no benefit, then the zakah is paid in the country where the wealth is located, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and because the country where the wealth is located is where the hopes of the poor are focused and where they look for support. Therefore, it is not appropriate to deprive the people of that country and divert it to others, unless there is a benefit. The stronger opinion among the scholars is that there is nothing wrong with it,
