In non-Muslim countries, it is allowed to minimise or avoid paying such taxes, provided it does not involve lying, cheating, etc., and it does not cause harm to one’s religion or worldly affairs. https://t.me/madrasatuna/4100 https://t.me/madrasatuna/4104 An example of evading taxes without lying: As-Sakhāwi raḥimahullāh narrated in 'Al-Jawāhir wad-Durar', that his teacher Ibn Ḥajar Al-’Asqalani would evade taxes on gold by placing it in a container of ghee or honey, sealing it in such a way that the contents were hidden. He would then fill the container with something appropriate, such as milk, honey, or ghee, to conceal the gold or silver. Thus, when inspected, it would appear to contain only the visible substance (ghee, honey, etc.), and the hidden contents would go unnoticed. 6⃣. A Muslim should avoid working for the tax & customs departments - especially if one's line of work has direct involvement. https://t.me/madrasatuna/4106 والله أعلم
