Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second question is about gratitude, may Allah bless you. If I want to transfer five thousand as zakah to another country, for example Yemen, and they charge a transfer fee of, say, one hundred riyals, is it deducted from the zakah or paid in addition to the zakah? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
No, no, you do not deduct it from the zakah; you pay the zakah in full and do not deduct anything from it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you. Thank you, my brother, may Allah bless you.
