The
ruling for denying Zakaatul-Fitr
*Please appropriately
reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: What is the ruling for denying
Zakaatul-Fitr and how is the denier to be dealt with?
Response:
It's denial is not permissible (muharram)! Because it is egressing
from that which the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) has legislated, as has just preceded
from the hadeeth of Ibn 'Umar (radhi-yallaahu 'anhumaa) (who
said): ((The Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) legislated Zakaatul-Fitr...), and it
is known that leaving off that which is obligatory is not
permissible (haraam), and in (doing so) is sin and disobedience.
