The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for me to pay my zakah in my home country during the upcoming vacation, or is it obligatory for me to pay it here where I reside with my family?
The Shaykh:
Zakah on wealth or zakat al-fitr?
The questioner:
Nothing was specified.
The Shaykh:
Zakah on wealth is paid in the country where the wealth is, and zakat al-fitr is paid in the country where the person is. Zakat al-fitr is paid in the country where the person for whom it is paid is located, and zakah on wealth is paid in the country where the wealth is. This is the default ruling.
