1625. Ibrāhīm bin 'Aṭā' — the freed slave of 'Imrān bin Ḥusain — narrated from his father that Ziyād, or another governor, sent 'Imrān bin Ḥusain as a collector of charity.
When he returned, he asked him: "Where is the wealth?" He replied: "(Did) you sent me to (bring back) wealth? We took it from the (people) who we used to take it from during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and we distributed it where we used to distribute it during time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ." (Hasan)

Commentary
The basic rule is that Zakāh collected in a region should be distributed among the needy of the same region. However, in case people in other regions are more in need of help, the wealth may be transferred there.
