Expenditure of Zakat of Fitra in the Place and City of Mukallaf
Issue No. 1731- It is obligatory precaution that zakāt of fiṭrah should be spent in the same place. Therefore, unless no deserving person is available there, one cannot send it to his relatives who are living in another town. In case he transfers the fiṭrah to another place, while deserving people are available there in his own town and it perishes, he is responsible for it. However, the Mujtahid or his representative may give permission for the fiṭrah to be transferred to another area or city considering the benefits of the needy.
