Great Debate on Zakat (Khalid Zaheer Vs. Allama Zaheer) -1

[skyboy7us]

So If the If USA government makes a Law regarding Zakat and says any Muslims would have to pay .25 of their saving in zakat fund and that will be used for feeding program for poor. I will pay it as part of my religious duty. If government doesn't spend it where they should I'll write against that and try to vote that government out. I will not stop paying Zakat. Just like If an Imam is corrupt I will try to change the Imam not stop praying.

Who will decide that such a society have already developed?

The richest and most powerful nations in the world right now Including USA, China Japan or European nations don't have a social system where every person have the chance . I live in USA. the Laws are made against discrimination but there are a lot of people believe that there is discrimination (I don't). Society starts from a person. I believe my job is to vote for the person who is closest to my values and obey the Laws of the land.

First define Zakat. What the term means !! In the Holy Quran the words aqeemus salata waatuz zakata have been used extensively and repeatedly. Such verses briefly mean, to establish a social order in which every person has the chance and opportunity to develop his self, according to the divine laws.

1- Was Government elected?

2- Was government asking people to pay zakat?(by passing a law)

3- Was government not spending the Zakat money where they should?

4- Did people vote again?

5- did they vote same people in the Government?

6- If yes, who is at fault?

7- If no, why wouldn't we pay zakat to new government and demand that they spend it honestly or they will be voted out like previous government?
