Chapter on Categories Upon Whom Zakat is Obligatory
وَ رَوَى عَنْهُ هِشَامُ بْنُ اَلْحَكَمِ رَحِمَهُ اَللَّهُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُعْطَى اَلزَّكَاةَ يَقْسِمُهَا أَ لَهُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ اَلشَّيْءَ مِنْهَا مِنَ اَلْبَلْدَةِ اَلَّتِي هُوَ بِهَا إِلَى غَيْرِهَا قَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ ».
Hisham ibn al-Hakam, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى have mercy on him, narrated from him (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام) regarding a man who is given Zakat to distribute: "Is it permissible for him to take a portion of it from the town where he resides to another?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "There is no issue."
