إِنَّ اللَّهَ افْتَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَدَقَةً تُؤْخَذُ مِنْ أَغْنِيَائِهِمْ فَتُرَدُّ عَلَى فُقَرَائِهِمْ

English

Allah has made obligatory upon them a charity taken from their wealthy and returned to their poor.

Scholarly note

The Hanafis in Al-Mabsut infer from 'their poor' that zakat is preferably distributed locally, a position also held in Al-Mughni.
