To Transmit Zakat to another City if there is not Deserving Person in the City
Issue No. 1679- If none of those who are entitled to receive zakāt are available in one’s area, and he does not consider it probable that he will be able to find a deserving person later, he should take the zakāt to some other place, and spend it in its appropriate way. He cannot deduct the expenses of taking it to the other town, from zakāt, and he is not responsible if it perishes.
