339◾️The ruling of giving out Zakaat outside of the country where one resides◾️
Answered by Fadeelatushaykh Abu Hatim Yusuf Al-'Inaabi Al-Jazaa'iree - may Allah preserve him -
📥Question:
What's the ruling of giving out Zakaat outside of the country where one resides, to a student of knowledge who migrated out of their country, for example to the Yemeni students of knowledge outside of their countries.
📤Answer:
It has come in the "Two Sahihs" on the authority of Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet ﷺ sent Muadh, may Allah be pleased with him, to Yemen [and it contains]: "If they obey you in this then inform them that Allah has obligated Zakaat upon them from their wealth, which is taken from their rich and given to their poor".
The apparent of this Hadith points to that the Zakaat is given to the poor of the country which the one who is giving the Zakaat resides in.
As [the neighbour of the money has more right to their Zakaat].
And through this all those that are in that land are sufficed with what they have of Zakaat, and through exporting it -without need or a legislative benefit- the people of that land remain being in need.
If there is a need in exporting it like, those deserving Zakaat being rare in the place of resident, or due to their relatives in their country of origin being in need, then they will have the quality of kinship alongside eligibility of the Zakaat, or due to the presence of Muslims who are more severe in need and being harmed in other than the place of residence, and other than this of legislative benefits.
Shaykh-Ul-Islaam, may Allah have mercy upon him, said as found in "Al-Ikthiyaaraat" (p.99): "If the Zakaat was transferred to those eligible in a ruled country, for example: for someone from Cairo was to be given what was collected in Egypt, then what's correct is that this is permissible. As the residents of that country are to be assisted from their farms, contrary to transferring from a province whilst the people of that place being in need of it.
And the Salaf said: [the neighbour of the money has more right to their Zakaat].
And they disliked transferring the Zakaat to the country where the ruler resides and elsewhere, so that all areas are sufficed with what they have of Zakaat, for this reason it was in the letter of Muadh bin Jabal: "Whoever moved to a province from another province then what he collects is in the province of his neighbours".
Provinces have what's called: Al-Mu'aamalah, and this is a person in charge and a judge, and they are who the ruler puts in charge to collect the Zakaat from their rich to give to their poor, and he didn't restricted it to the distance of two days, and there is no proof for the restricting the preventing of transfer of Zakaat to the distance of the shortening [of the prayer], and it is permissible to transfer the Zakaat and what takes its ruling for a legislative benefit".
