8. When the tax collector dies, the money he<br />

collected does not get handed over to the<br />

next collector.<br />

9. They are ignoring the restrictive orders and<br />

are still collecting it.<br />

10. There are no instructions from the Holy<br />

Imams (a.s.) for the re-imposition of this tax.<br />

It stands to reason that if I owe money to person<br />

‘A’, then my debt does not get repaid if I were to<br />

instead hand over the money to person ‘B’ without<br />

the consent of person ‘A’. We know for certain that<br />

the money we are handing over is not reaching<br />

Imam Mahdi (a.s.). In fact, they do not even claim<br />

that they are handing it over to him (a.s.).<br />

So, why are we paying this tax over to them?<br />

If I were to make unauthorised collections and then<br />

do not hand the money over to the person or the<br />

organisation on behalf of whom I claim to be<br />

making the collection, I would end up spending a lot<br />

of time behind bars.<br />
