    When there is no state or no rule of law, then every individual has to pay their due Zakat in their individual capacity. Zakat is the right of a society on an individual imposed by Allah on which state has the first right to collect. But if the state does not collect that amount (due to any reason), then the individual should pay his due Zakat himself. Therefore, if the income earned is above Nisab then one should pay Zakat due at an individual level, despite the fact it is not being collected by the state.
