Sorry, I dont understand your question. However if your friend meant that Zakat is being reconsidered and the deduction may not be mandatory, then he is wrong. Zakat, as you mentioned is one of the five pillars of Islam and its payment have been ordered by God Almighty through Quran and it cannot be 'let go' by any consensus of mortals, as such will be against the very basics of Islam.
