2523. It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbâs that the Prophet ﷺ sent
Mu'âdh bin Jabal to Yemen and said: "You are going to some people from among the People of the Book. Call them to bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allâh and that I am the Messenger of Allâh. If they obey you in that, then teach them that Allâh has enjoined upon them five prayers every day and night. If they obey you in that, then teach them that Allâh has enjoined upon them Sadaqah (Zakâh) from their wealth, to be taken from their rich and given to their poor. If they obey you in that, then do not touch the most precious of their wealth and fear the supplication of the one who has been wronged, for there is no barrier between it and Allâh, the Mighty and sublime." (Sahîh)

Commentary
The fact of the matter is that Zakâh must be distributed in the region in which it is collected, except that it is plentifully surplus.
