The Ruling on Paying the Value of the Nisab as Zakah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In his second question, he says: If the state has determined the value of the nisab for livestock, is it permissible to pay that value to a needy person I know as zakah?

Answer:
If the state does not take it from you, you give it to whoever you see is in need. But if the state demands it, you must pay it to the one in authority, and that suffices. Yes.
