The ruling on transferring zakah to another country

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions is also this brother, Muhammad Hafiz from Sudan, who asks: What is the ruling on paying zakah in the country of Sudan, where there are poor people in need?

Answer:
This concerns transferring zakah from the country where the wealth is located to another country, provided there is a valid purpose for the transfer, as I mentioned, such as there being people in need there who are more in need than those present here. In that case, there is no harm in doing so. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
