Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We have done something.
The Shaykh:
That it is among the calamities, and calamities affect everyone. Yes.
The questioner:
And that is a matter that would be the case if the disbelievers were to take from a man in his harvest until the nearest.
The Shaykh:
They were.
The questioner:
The government takes from the matter in his harvest when it takes a portion of the grains, and this is the case with the presence of the Christians, does it enter into the zakah on the day of harvest, and before the government receives its right, or after giving the government its right? And what if the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) has not been reached after giving the government its right?
The Shaykh:
He pays zakah on what remains for him, as for what the government takes, that has gone from him, it is gone from him, but he pays zakah on what remains for him.
The questioner:
What does the scholar take as zakah?
The Shaykh:
If the government takes it as zakah according to the intention, if it takes it as zakah, it is zakah, but if it takes it as a tax, it is not zakah, the government being non-Islamic also does not practice zakah. Yes.
