Delegation in distributing Sadaqah

Q 1: Is it permissible for my family to pay Sadaqah (voluntary charity) of their money on my behalf to the poor in the Kingdom, as there are no poor people here. ?

A 1: Yes, it is permissible for your family to give Sadaqah from your money when you permit them or from theirs, to the poor of the Kingdom on your behalf. This is permissible whether there are poor people in the country where you stay or not, except for Zakat-ul-Fitr (obligatory charity paid before the Festival of Breaking the Fast), as it is better to pay it to the poor Muslims in the location where you live or neighboring locations.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
