Zakah on wealth is paid in the country where the capital is located

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. A message was sent by one of the listening brothers, who used the letters A, M, S, and S as a code for his name. He is a Sudanese resident in al-Ta'if. He says: I am a Sudanese resident in the Kingdom. I sent a sum of money to one of my relatives for the purpose of trade, on the basis that the profit would be shared between us according to agreed proportions. This relative used the money to purchase a residential plot of land and a group of sheep that did not reach the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) from the net profits, excluding his own share. So, when the lunar year (hawl) passes on this amount I sent, how do I pay its zakah? Do I pay zakah on the value I sent, or do I add the profits to it? And if I add the profits, do I add my own share of the profits as well, meaning the total profits, since I do not know what he did with his share? Also, is the zakah to be paid in Sudan or in the Kingdom, where I reside? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
First, zakah is paid in the country where the wealth is. So, if the wealth is in Sudan, you pay the zakah in Sudan. If the wealth is in the Kingdom, you pay the zakah in the Kingdom. This is the default ruling. However, if you transfer the zakah from the location of the wealth to another place out of need, because that other place has a greater need, there is no harm in doing so. As for the issue of profit and capital, the profit follows the capital and is zakat-able along with the capital. Its hawl (lunar year) is based on the hawl of the capital. The profit is subordinate to the capital. So, you pay zakah on your capital, and you pay zakah on the profit you received from your share of the partnerships. Yes.
