Taxation More Than Zakat

[Umer]

There are no comments of Ghamidi Sahab on the mode of mechanism that can be adopted by a state.

However, following scenarios seem practically possible:

i) State can ask for voluntary donations or;

ii) State can hold a referendum in this regard or;

iii) Constitutional amendment of this kind.

In either of the cases ii or iii, every individual should still be given a right to either opt-in or opt-out of the payment of additional tax in accordance with the procedure/rules set out in this regard.
