Chapter on What Has Been Narrated About Those Who Refuse to Pay Zakat
وَ رَوَى أَبَانُ بْنُ تَغْلِبَ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «دَمَانِ فِي اَلْإِسْلاَمِ حَلاَلٌ مِنَ اَللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لاَ يَقْضِي فِيهِمَا أَحَدٌ حَتَّى يَبْعَثَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَائِمَنَا أَهْلَ اَلْبَيْتِ فَإِذَا بَعَثَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَائِمَنَا أَهْلَ اَلْبَيْتِ حَكَمَ فِيهِمَا بِحُكْمِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اَلزَّانِي اَلْمُحْصَنُ يَرْجُمُهُ وَ مَانِعُ اَلزَّكَاةِ يَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ ».
Aban ibn Taghlib reported from him (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام) who said: "There are two cases in Islam where the shedding of blood is permissible by Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Blessed and Exalted, but no one will judge regarding them until Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, sends forth our Qa'im (the Mahdi عليه السلام) from among the Ahlulbayt. When Allah سبحانه وتعالى sends forth our Qa'im عليه السلام, he will judge them according to Allah’s سبحانه وتعالى command: the adulterer who is married will be stoned, and the one who withholds Zakat will have his neck struck (executed)."
