The answer

The amount of zakat due on 1000 Euros is 25 Euros (2.5%). Zakat is given to the poor of the country where the money is located. It is permissible to transfer it to another country for a legitimate Shar'i interest, such as extreme need or kinship. As for giving zakat to someone who is building a house, the basic principle is not to buy a house for him from zakat, but rather to rent one, unless he owns land or has started building and his money is insufficient.
