May Allah bless you. This questioner says: What is the ruling on the zakah paid to the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority? Is it considered zakah or not?

If you pay the zakah to the one in authority when the one in authority requests it and you pay it to him, it suffices. This [payment] to the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority is paid to the one in authority, so it suffices in this regard.
