Question
Why is it permissible to pay taxes with interest money?
Answer
Because taxation is haraam in Islam. Even the Khalifah of the Islamic empire may not impose taxes on the people besides such taxes which have already been ordained by Allah Ta'ala such as Jizyah on the non-Muslim citizens, and Zakaat, etc.
