Welfare State And View Of Javed Ahmed Ghamidi
He has talked about it in various videos. His views summarize that the Western welfare states are a great achievement of human endeavors for the welfare of human beings. However, Liberalism needs to be harnessed to avoid unwanted results like the legalization of homosexuality, etc. His view on zakat is that Islam has delimited the authority of the government to impose taxes. Muslims living in Western countries can count their taxes as zakat. If the tax they pay is more than the zakat due to them, it can be counted as the extra charity they made.
