If the ruler imposes amounts on people, such as taxes and the like, are they to be paid?

Question : Is this the Shari'ah, or what they call ordinary?

Answer : Generally, because what they have imposed on people is not a sin, but rather rights that are obligatory for them by the condition. Peace be upon you. Even if they are unjust, a person may flee from the injustice without confrontation. For example, if they impose taxes and a person can escape this tax by fleeing without confrontation, there is no harm, provided that he is confident of his safety.
