The Eanasir at any rate are said tn have paid zakat
to Shaikh Zaid hin Khalifah of Ahu Dhabi (who died
about 1918) and the history of Trucial ‘Oman tends to
confirm this. So far as can be traced none of the
tribes in this area have furnished men for tne /emen
Campaign.
Kach year lately a party (who may number some
30 armed men with some servants) of Muzakis (tax
gatherers) has been sent to Dhafrah by the Amir ol hasa
( 1 Abdullah bin Jilouwi) about April. In 1933 the head i
of the party was Badr al ‘Utaibi* but as there were
complaints of his harshness to the people, Muhammad-
al-Sahali was sent in 1934.
Zakat is charged at the rate of one dollar
for each full-grown camel, half a dollar tor each
young camel, and one dollar for every five sheep. In
1934, 10,000 dollars are said to have been collected
from the Manasir in Dhafrah. If a man cannot pay in
cash, it is alleged that the Muzakis take one oi his
best camels and assess its value at one—1iith ox what
it should be (this is possibly exaggerated).
The Muzakis sometimes go as far afield as
Baraimi(where Bin Sa'ud has no agent) and 'Oman, where
however they do not press for fixed rates but take what
is given to them; in practice the payments vary, less
if Bin Sa*ud is engaged in war or other pre-occupations,
more if he is free to deal with the matter.
Ho zakat is paid by the Trucial Chiefs to Bin
Sa*ud, but courtesy presents of 5to 10 camels are sent
yearly/
