c12.12

According to the Hidāyah Jeziyah is of two kinds—that which is established voluntarily and that which is enforced, the usual rate is one *dinar* for every male person, females and children being exempt according to Abu Hanifah, but included by As-shafi. It should be imposed upon Jews, and Christians, and Magians, but it should not be accepted from the Arabian idolators or from apostates, who should be killed. But from the idolators of countries other than Arabia it may be accepted. It should not be levied upon monks, hermits, or paupers, or slaves. He who pays the Jeziyah and obeys the Muhammadan state is called a Zimmi. Hughes’, p. 248.
