Can Tax Paid In A Non-Muslim Country Be Adjusted Against Zakat
9-60. “ Zakah expenditures are only for the poor and for the needy and for those employed to collect [zakah] and for bringing hearts together [for Islam] and for freeing captives [or slaves] and for those in debt and for the cause of Allah and for the [stranded] traveler – an obligation [imposed] by Allah. And Allah is Knowing and Wise. ” I got above from Muslim Pro App. Translation uses the word Zakat in this verse but Arabic content uses the word Sadaqat. So does above verse refer to Zakat or sadaqat or both? If it is for Zakat then it is clear where Zakat should go towards, which is not specifically to government in the form of collecting tax. May Allah give you reward for clarifying it. Thanks,
