What is the ruling of Islamic law on concealing some clients for the purpose of reducing taxes, based on the employer's order?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The ruling on tax evasion and aiding it depends on the type of tax: If the tax is lawful, it is not permissible to evade it or circumvent it, nor to assist anyone who does so, as Allah Almighty says: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
