Fathwa - When it is permissible to evade taxes

Question
Assalamualaikum, Please answer as soon as possible as closing date
isnear. We are to pay tax, but if we show Rent Receipt we get some tax
rebates. I donot own a house, I live in my fathershouse. I give 80% of
salary to him. Now to get the tax rebate, I made a LEGAL document
which shows I am paying him rent and he gave me VALID receipts also
with his signature. The transactions are valid (I give him money more
than I showed as rent) and the documents are valid, only thing is that
atthe time of giving moneymy intentions would not have been one of
giving rent. Now will this be considered as cheating for tax rebate.
Also, we get Medical Benefits. We purchase medicine and we donot ask
for receiptsat that time. I know I puchased the medicines of X amount
but I donot have bills. Now can I make a fake bill of this X amount
(it will be fake bill not fake transaction) and submit that. Last
one,if the taxes taken by govtare used by them in both halal and haram
uses should we pay them. And even if its collected for halal end but
becuase of rampant corruption much of that ends in pockets of
profiteers/corrupt politicians-beaureaucratsshould we still give tax.
Eagerly waiting for response. Thanks

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
, is His Slave and Messenger.
The ruling of what you have asked about depends on the ruling of taxes
themselves as some of them are permissible and should be paid and itis
not permissible to look for ways to evade them. That is if the
treasury of acountry is unable to meetthe needs and interests of the
people and taxes are taken to meet such needs and fulfill those
interests. Accordingly, it is not permissible to evade paying them
through the tricks mentioned above nor through any other tricks. That
is because charging taxes is one of the matters that the general
interest requires and thus all should cooperate in it and comply with
what may achieve it.
However, if those taxes are illegitimate in the first place, and the
state takes them unjustly or spends them in illegal ways, then there
is no harm to evade them through such tricks and the like to ward off
oppression and remove harm with the available means. - - ▓███▓

Fathwa - He left his wife to live with a woman from whom he had two illegitimate children

Question
Before marriage I was with a girl out of wedlock, ive had two children
with the girl out of wedlock. I tried to keep it all quiet so I
couldkeep my family happy. Well eventually it all came out nd I saw no
other option to leave home. Now im with the girl out of wedlock
looking after my children. Ive become colse to the kids and I dont
want them to grow up without a dad. I am alone and without any family
or friends which I think I deserve for ehat I done. In my head the
kids shouldnt hsve to grow without me. But have I done right?? I need
advice plz
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
isHis slave and Messenger.
With regard to your question " ….have I done right? ", if by this you
refer to your illegal relationship with that girl, then there is no
doubt that it is forbidden, and you are obligated to immediatelyand
sincerely repent and cut this relationship with her, please refer to
the conditions of repentance in Fatwa 86527 .
But if you mean leaving your marital home, then if this leads to
leaving your wife and neglectingsome of her rights, or being negligent
about the rights of your children, then this is not permissible.
'Abdullaah ibn 'Amr narrated that the Prophet said: " It is enough a
sin for a personnot to provide sustenance to those whom he is
obligated to support. " [Abu Daawood]
Besides, the child born out of Zina (adultery or fornication) is not
traced back to the adulterer or fornicator, but he should be traced
back to his mother according to the view of the majority of the
jurists and this is the view we adopt here in Islamweb. Based on this
opinion, you have no relation with these two children in principle,
but some jurists are of the view that if the fornicator/adulterer
attributes these children to himself, then they are attributed to him
(they take the same family lineage like him). For more benefit, please
refer to Fataawa 84788 and 85430 .
If that girl sincerely repents, it becomes permissible for you to
marry her provided she makes sure that she is not pregnant (by
observing three menses according to the view of the scholars, or one
menses occording to another view) and provided you are able to be just
between her and your first wife. For more benefit, please refer to
Fataawa 83769 , 183497 and 81469 .
However, we recommendthat you take the initiative to solve your
problem; as disappearingand going away from your family and friends
will not benefit you in anything; rather, it will cause you harm. In
case someone tries to blame you for what you did, then remind him that
Allaah accepts the repentance of the one who repents and He forgives
and pardons. Besides, it is not permissible to reproach aMuslim or
harm him because of a sin from which he had repented. You should
remind them of the Hadeeth in which the Prophet said: '' O you who are
Muslims by tongue but 'Eemaan (faith) has not entered your hearts! Do
not harm the Muslims, and do not reproach them (because of their
defects) and do not pursue their faults (imperfections), because if
someone pursues the faults of his Muslim brother, Allaah will pursue
his faults, and he whom Allaah pursues his faults, He would disgrace
him even in his own dwelling. " [At-Tirmithi]
Finally, if you remain steadfast on obedience and you are sincere in
doing so, then this will urge the people to respect you and refrain
from reproaching you foryour past.
Allaah Knows best.

The best generations were the best to their parents

The early generations of Islam were the forerunners of the Muslim
nation since they excelled in all aspects of the religion: in their
acts of worship as well as their etiquette and manners with the people
around them.
They were especially devoted to their parents, as Aa'ishah recalled,
"Two of the Companions of the Prophet were the most dutiful in this
nation to their mothers: 'Uthmaan ibn 'Affaan and Haarithah ibn
An-Nu'maan . 'Uthmaan ibn 'Affaan said: 'Ever since I became a Muslim,
I never dared to look my mother in the eye' and as for Haarithah Ibn
An-Nu'maan he used to feed his mother with his own hands and would
never ask her to repeat herself if he did not understand her words,
but rather, he would ask those with him in the room after sheleft."
Once Ibn 'Umar both, was travelling and he met a bedouin on the way,
so he gave him a ride on his donkey, then he gave him his turban, Ibn
Deenaar said, "Wesaid to Ibn 'Umar both,he is a bedouin, and a little
satisfies them" so hereplied, "His father was a close friend of 'Umar
ibn Al-Khattaab, and I heard the Prophet, saying: "The best
dutifulness is when the son is kind to his father's close friends."
[Muslim]."
Some other stories that have reached us of the Taabi'oon (the
generation following theCompanions) and their kindness and good
treatment of their parents are as follows:
● Al-Fadhl bin Yahya was kind to his father, who habitually made
ablution with warm water. When they were both imprisoned, the jailer
forbade Al-Fadhl to kindle fire to heat water for his father, so he
drewa brass vessel full of water near a lamp; when morning came the
water had become hot and thushis father could make ablution with it.
The jailer then forbade him to heat water by using the lamp, so he
took the vessel to his bed and attached it to his stomach; when
morning came the water had become slightly warm.
● Hafsah bint Sireen used to ask forgiveness for her son Huthayl, and
say, "Huthayl used to bring sugar cane and dry it out during the
summer so that it would give no smoke when burnt. When winter came, he
would quietly light a fire with this dried cane behind me while I was
praying during the night,just enough to warm me without me being
disturbed by its smoke. I would say to him: 'O son! Go to your family
tonight', and he would reply: 'They do not need anything'; so I would
allow him to stay and he would sometimes stay until morning."
● Muhammad ibn 'Abdur-Rahmaan was very dutiful to his father and
whenever his father would call him, he would not answer him while
sitting down, but would jump up and rush to stand next to his head
(while he was lying down) to reply to his requests, and if he did not
understand then he would not ask him for an explanation but would ask
others with them in the room out of respect.
● Az-Zubayr ibn Hishaam was very dutiful to hisfather, and whenever he
received cold water (for drinking) in the summer, he would first taste
it, if he found it cold enough, then he would send to his father.
● 'Awn ibn 'Abdullaah was called by his mother once, and when he
answered his voice was alittle too loud, so he freed two slaves for
atonement.
● Haywah ibn Shurayh was a great Muslim scholar. Once, while he was
giving a lecture, his mother called him and said: "O Haywah! Get up
and feed the chickens" sohe left the study circle and did as she
asked. - - ▓███▓ Translator:-> http://translate.google.com/m/
