Muwatta Malik #621
Zakat
Yahya related to me from Malik that Zayd ibn Aslam said, ''Umar
ibn al Khattab drank some milk which he liked (very much) and he asked
the man who had given it to him, 'Where did this milk come from?' The
man told him that he had come to a watering-place, which he named, and
had found grazing livestock from the zakat watering there. He was
given some of their milk, which he then put into his water-skin, and
that was the milk in question. Umar ibn al-Khattab then put his hand
into his mouth to make himself vomit."
Malik said, "The
position with us is that if anyone refuses to honour one of the
obligatory demands of Allah, and the muslims are unable to get it,
then they have the right to fight him until they get itfrom him."
