Riyad as-Salihin, 1209
Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "I have been commanded to fight people till they testify 'La ilaha illallah' (there is no true god except Allah) that Muhammad (ﷺ) is his slave and Messenger, and they establish Salat, and pay Zakat; and if they do this, their blood (life) and property are secured except when justified by law, and it is for Allah to call them to account." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
أمرت أن أقاتل الناس حتى يشهدوا أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمدًا رسول الله، ويقيموا الصلاة، ويؤتوا الزكاة، فإذا فعلوا ذلك، عصموا مني دماءهم وأموالهم إلا بحق الإسلام وحسابهم على الله

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) Zakah is the right of Islam in a person’s wealth. It is not a favor or gift donated by the rich.<br>
2) If a person refuses to give the due Zakah, the ruler should fight him over that.
