Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on zakah? And what is the ruling on one who denies the obligation of zakah?
Answer:
One who denies the obligation of zakah becomes an apostate from the religion of Islam, just as one who denies the obligation of prayer or the obligation of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) does. If he denies what is known from the religion by necessity, he becomes a disbeliever and an apostate from the religion of Islam. If he is ignorant, it is explained to him. If he persists in the denial, he is ruled to be a disbeliever. Yes.
