Ruling on transferring zakat al-mal from one country to another
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q150: The questioner says: I am a man who resides in Makkah al-Mukarramah. Is it permissible for me to pay my zakat al-mal and give it to the poor in another country?
A150: Zakat al-mal is to be paid in the country where the wealth is located, because that country is in need of this zakat, and because it is not permissible to transfer it to another country while it is in their country. However, if he has relatives who are in greater need, there is nothing wrong with that; this is a valid justification.
