Zakah and taxes-payment of taxes from earned interest ? : taxes and Zakah and payment of taxes from earned interest
Fatawa Question
A Muslim living in a Islamic country is paying one income tax i.e., Zakah. But a Muslim living in a non-Muslim country like India, Sri Lanka should pay two income taxes i.e., Zakah and income tax imposed by non-Muslim government. Is not contrary to the economic equality Islam proposes ? Is there any compensation / concession Islam suggests to the one living in non-Muslim country in this regard ? Please advise. Notes : Is it allowed to pay income tax imposed by non-Muslim government from the interest earned from bank deposits ?
