[quote]w Salam Mr. Shahzad

yes U can deduct the 5% Tax fm your Zakat Money n pay the REST 5% of Zakat though the govt. is not Islamic.

However, you must also check that your total annual income must be above the tax payable amount set by your govt. as this will be the NISAB for your Zakat Amount.

Mr. Rizwan, You are right that it's Ijtihaad n one who is accepting this Ijtihad have no Q upon it, he/she must act upon it.
However people like you may carry on understanding it n acting on the Traditional approach.
The basis of Ijtihad is simple:
* very few things must be exempted fm Zakat as Zakat is the ONLY TAX that an Islamic Govt. can take with power and it has to use it for its ALL purposes.
* at Prophet's time there was only LAND Production &amp; now we have many other types of productions. Factory production is a BIG type of itnad Providing SERVICES is another MAIN type of it. The professional give there services nad what the earn is their production.

One may have some Qs regarding this Ijtihad as I myself hv someQs too But it does not look like an UNJUSTIFIED one. However you or anyone else has ALL the RIGHTS to REJECT it but it must be upon some STRONG reasoning. It's NOT enough to say that it's a NEW thing.
