Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are the Majus treated exactly like the People of the Book? And may a Muslim marry their women?
Answer:
No, it is only in taking the jizyah (tax on protected non-Muslims). It was stated at the end of the athar (report from a Companion or successor): “Prescribe for them the same rule as for the People of the Book.” This is the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): do not marry their women, and do not eat their slaughtered animals. So their slaughtered animals are not to be eaten, and their women are not to be married. Rather, the rule prescribed for them is the same as for the People of the Book only in taking the jizyah. Yes.
