Zakat
Ghamidi Sb’s view of zakat as a form of taxation is thought-provoking but raises critical concerns about the allocation of such funds by governments.
In Surah Tawbah, the Quran outlines specific categories for zakat spending. However, when governments collect zakat, it is often diverted to fund administrative expenses like departmental budgets and salaries, which deviate from the original intent of spending Zakat.
For instance, if Pakistan were to collect zakat solely as a tax, how would it justify using those funds for salaries of foreign service officers or employees of the tourism department, as these do not fall under the categories specified in the Quran?

Please see how Ghamidi saheb interprets the heads of zakat. They include all the functions of the government. See Al Bayan
