The traveler is among those entitled to receive zakah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: A man is in a country other than his own, and his money was stolen. Is he entitled to receive from the zakah, even though financial transactions have become easier in the present time?
A: The person in question is considered a traveler. If he claims need, or the loss of his provisions, or that they were stolen, he is given from the zakah what will enable him to reach his home, even if he is wealthy in his home country.
