Chapter on Categories Upon Whom Zakat is Obligatory
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ دُرُسْتَ بْنِ أَبِي مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلزَّكَاةِ يَبْعَثُ بِهَا اَلرَّجُلُ إِلَى بَلَدٍ غَيْرِ بَلَدِهِ فَقَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ يَبْعَثُ بِالثُّلُثِ أَوِ اَلرُّبُعِ ».
In a narration from Durust ibn Abi Mansur, it is reported that Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said regarding Zakat: "A man may send a portion of his Zakat to a place other than his own. He said, 'There is no issue if he sends one-third or one-fourth of it.'"
