The endowments of the lands of Egypt and Sham and the demand for the land tax from those in possession of them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Do the lands of Egypt and Sham, and the like of what 'Umar ibn al-Khattab endowed, still require the land tax (kharaj) to be paid by those who currently possess them?
Answer:
He should demand it from those in possession of it, as that is the original ruling in this matter. However, the fact that it has been left uncollected now is a separate issue. You should demand it, and may Allah strengthen you.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
