Q
What are the consequences of not paying Zakat according to Islamic teachings?
A
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Whoever is made wealthy by Allah and does not pay the Zakat of his wealth,
then on the Day of Resurrection his wealth will be made like a baldheaded poisonous male snake with
two black spots over the eyes. The snake will encircle his neck and bite his cheeks and say, ‘I am your
wealth, I am your treasure.’ ” Then the Prophet (ﷺ) recited the holy verses:– ‘Let not those who withhold .
. .’ (to the end of the verse). (3.180).
