The ruling on one who withholds zakah while being able to pay it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is one who performs all the pillars of Islam except zakah, while being able to pay it, considered a disbeliever?
Answer:
If he denies its obligation, he is considered a disbeliever. If he does not deny its obligation but withholds it out of stinginess, he must repent to Allah and pay the zakah for all the years that have passed. Along with his repentance, he must pay the zakah for all the years that have passed; his record is not cleared except by doing so. If he does not pay it, it is obligatory for the one in authority to take it from him by force and punish him with a severe discretionary punishment.
