من رخص في أن لا تدفع الزكاة إلى السلطان
Those who permitted not paying zakah to the ruler
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 10497 — Those who permitted not paying zakah
١٠٤٩٧ - حدثنا وكيع عن إسرائيل عن جابر (عن) (١) (خيثمة) (٢) قال: سألت ابن عمر عن الزكاة فقال: ادفعها إليهم، ثم سألته بعد فقال: لا تدفعها إليهم؛ فإنهم قد أضاعوا الصلاة (٣).
Khaythamah said: I asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): To whom should I pay zakah? He said: Pay it to the rulers. Then some time later I asked him the same question again, and he said: Do not pay it to the rulers; they do not take care of the prayers and they let the prayers go to waste (miss their times).
