It is not permissible for a traveler to delay paying as long as the money is with him, or if he is absent but able to pay it, even through an agent. If he cannot find someone to act on his behalf, he may delay it until he returns and then pays it. Travel is not an excuse to delay Zakat beyond its due time.
