The ruling on the zakah collector asking for money in place of a sheep or a camel

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If the zakah collector asks for money in place of a sheep or in place of a camel, is it permissible to pay him?

Answer:
If the compensation is obligatory, and he is required to give a one-year-old sheep but does not have one, the one giving zakah takes the value of the one-year-old sheep.
