Sunan Abi Dawud 1591 (Book 9, Hadith 36) #21883
Collecting Zakat Locally

SUMMARY: People should not collect zakat from a distance and it should be collected from their dwellings.

'Amr bin Shu'aib, on his father's authority, said that his grandfather reported the Prophet as saying: There is to be no collecting of sadaqah (zakat) from a distance, nor must people who own property remove it far away, and their sadaqahs are to be received in their dwelling.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ جَلَبَ وَلاَ جَنَبَ وَلاَ تُؤْخَذُ صَدَقَاتُهُمْ إِلاَّ فِي دُورِهِمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of collecting zakat locally. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that people who own property should not remove it far away and their sadaqahs are to be received in their dwelling. This means that people should not take the money they owe for zakat away from where they live, but rather pay it in the same place they live or work. This hadith teaches us to be responsible with our finances and to pay what we owe in a timely manner without trying to avoid our obligations by moving away or hiding our money elsewhere. It also encourages us to help those who are less fortunate than ourselves by giving them what we can afford when we can afford it, as this is an important part of being a good Muslim.
