Paying Zakah from the seeds prepared to be planted

A: First: If the case is as you mentioned, you should pay the Zakah due on the wheat which you reserved, as it is equal in the judgment of Zakah to that which you sent to the silos.Second: It is permissible to move the Zakah from one town to another, when a legal interest is verified. Thus, if the distribution of Zakah to the legal recipients of the town of your residence achieves a preponderant legal interest that is legally greater than distributing it in the town where the farm is, it will be permissible to do that.Third: It will be better to pay Zakah to poor and needy relatives other than ancestors (i.e. fathers, grandfathers, mothers, grandmothers, and so on,) and descendants (i.e. the children of a person and their offspring, however low), for it is Sadaqah (voluntary charity) and a form of maintaining the ties of kinship.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
