The ruling on sending zakah to poor relatives outside the country

Question:
This questioner says: I have zakah on wealth for which the lunar year has elapsed, and I have poor relatives outside the country, and I want to give them charity, so what is the ruling?

Answer:
It is permissible for you to transfer the zakah to your needy relatives, even if they are outside the country. This is permissible when there is a need, and the default is that the zakah is paid in its place and in its country, but if a need calls for transferring it, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
