Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: How do you reconcile the statement of Allah the Exalted in Surat al-Baqarah,[At-Tawbah 9:29] which specifies the People of the Book regarding the jizyah, with the hadith in Muslim, Sunan Abi Dawud 2612Sahih (Al-Albani)?
Answer:
Yes. The hadith contains an addition to what is in the verse, and there is no objection to accepting an addition from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).[Al-Hashr 59:7] The verse mentioned one type of those from whom the jizyah is taken, and the hadith completed it by bringing an addition. And whatever comes from the Messenger is from Allah the Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
