Zakah taken from one town to another: those who disliked it

Ibrahim and al-Hasan used to dislike zakah being moved from one city to another.

It is also narrated through Hisham, or someone else, from al-Hasan that the two of them (Ibrahim and al-Hasan) used to dislike zakah being taken out from one city to another.

Al-Hasan said: Taking zakah from one city to another is disliked.

It is narrated from Abd al-Aziz bin Abi Rawwad that zakah was sent from Iraq to Umar bin Abd al-Aziz in Syria, and he sent that zakah wealth back to Iraq.

It is narrated from Uthman bin Murrah that a woman asked al-Qasim: "We have some dirhams of zakah with us. Should we send them to Syria?" He replied: "Give them to the governor and ruler who is in Madinah (do not move it from one city to another)."

Al-Dahhak said: Keep the zakah in the very town you are in. And if there are no poor (and deserving) people in that town, take it to the town nearest to it.

Farqad al-Sabakhi said: Zakah was given to me to take to Makkah, and I met Sa'id bin Jubayr. He said to me: "Take it back to the very town it was collected from."
