(→‎Spend on Jihad: zakat as an obligation)
Line 236: Line 236:


'''Zakat became an obligation in the second year of Hijra. The evidence for its obligatory nature is the Book, Sunna and consensus. Whoever disputes its obligatory nature is an unbeliever. If someone affirms that it is obligatory but refuses to pay it, he is beaten and it is taken from him by force''' and that is enough: he is not an unbeliever. Ibn Habib says he is an unbeliever, but this is unlikely.}}

==Shia hadith==
Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq decreed the following about Zakat.
{{Quote|Wasa’il ul-Shia Vol. 6 page 18|“Doubtlessly, the Almighty Allah has necessitated a portion for the destitute in the wealth of the rich people. It is such an obligation that is praised if fulfilled by the affluent people. It is Zakat and one who pays it, his blood is Harām. (i.e. it is Harām to kill him). And those who pay it are called Muslims.<ref>Shi'ite scholars say this part is an implicit declaration that anyone who does not pay Zakat is a kafir.</ref>
...
One who avoids paying Zakat equal to one carat (four grains of barley) is neither a believer nor a Muslim. He is the same whose condition at the time of death is mentioned by Allah that he shall say, “Send me back my Lord, send me back, haply (''sic'') I may do good in that which I left.
...
One who does not pay Zakat even if it is equal to one carat, he is expelled from belief and dies as a Jew or a Christian.
...
Death penalty is permissible in Islam for two kinds of sinners. And no one will issue a decree regarding the two until the advent of the Qaem of the progeny of Mohammed. Then Imam Mahdi will issue decree on the basis of divine laws. One of the two is the adulterer who fornicated despite having a wife. He shall be stoned to death. The second is the one who does not pay Zakat. He shall be beheaded.
...
Monetary loss in desert or seas is only due to the non payment of Zakat. And when the Qaem of the progeny of Mohammed reappears he shall arrest and execute those who do not pay Zakat.}}
