Dear Faisal
Thanks a lot for your responses and it is very kind of you!
My question was in the context that our respectable Ghamidi Sahib saying that the state cannot take a single penny from a person more than what Allah has allowed under Zakat.
This raises a question as to why then we need to pay taxes to a government specially when they ask us to pay up to 40% of income in UK.
I know it is illegal to evade taxes. I also know that Ghamdi Sajib says that you can deduct Zakah from the taxes you pay etc., I have been regularly listening to him for the past year and it has completely changed my perspective on Islam. May Allah bless him and reward him immensely- Ameen.
However my question is what Shariah principle we can use to justify payment of taxes to a government in a non Muslim country like UK given what Ghamidi Sahib says about lack of eligibility of state to take from a person.
Will it come under the principle of obey Allah, His Messenger and those who have authority over you?
Please clarify this point from an Islamic perspective (use some Quran principles in support please).
I have heard some other scholars strongly ridiculing the Western concept of charging taxes etc.,on YOUTUBE as they feel it comes under Zulm and injustice.
Jazakallah Khairan and May Allah bless you and immensely reward you for your excellent work,.
