Abstract
:
In this paper the researcher raises a number of questions concerning the imposition of taxes on Muslims and non Muslims in an Islamic society. Should taxes be levied on Muslim on the basis of Zakat? Should taxes be imposed on Non-Muslims on the basis of Zakat or Kharaj? Are these financial duties fixed or do they change according to changing shari'ah policies. The previous financial duties have been studied with the intention of showing how Islam has the precedence of establishing the principles of public finance. Those financial duties have been discussed with a view to determine what is clear about them and what is obscure and to see how far they are relevant in the present age. In the past the researches concentrated mainly on the study of zakah. It is worthwhile to direct our future research efforts towards the study of kharaj and other financial duties in Islam. In this paper, a comparison has been made between financial duties levied on Muslims and those imposed on others. It also compares between Shari`ah principles regarding zakah and kharaj and conventional principles of taxation. It gives an account of permissible financial duties and prohibited ones (almukus). It also examines the difficulties that may be faced in case zakah is imposed in an enviornment of taxation, and where evasion of taxes is not permissible because if a fixed amount is to be collected, then tax evasion by some people means more burden on some others.
