Why Give Fidya Locally?

Narrated Aisha: I said, "O Allah's Messenger! I have two neighbors; which of them should I give a gift to?" The Prophet (SAW) said, "(Give) to the one whose door is nearer to you."
(Bukhari)
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said
“Fasting is for a fixed number of days, and if one of you be sick, or if one of you be on a journey, you will fast the same number of other days later on. For those who are capable of fasting (but still do not fast) there is a redemption: feeding a needy man for each day missed. Whoever voluntarily does more good than is required, will find it better for him; and that you should fast is better for you, if you only know.”
Qur’an 2:184
