Question:If something has been dedicated for the benefit of the poor, is it permissible to transfer its benefits to the poor in another country?

Answer:In the name of Allah, if it was not specified at the time of the endowment (waqf), it is preferable to limit the benefit to the poor of the same locality, unless there is evidence indicating otherwise. However, if it was specified, it is not permissible to transfer it to another country. This means that the conditions of the endowment and the intention of the endower at the time of endowment must be adhered to. Allah knows best.
