The Ruling on the Slaughter of the Majus and Their Inclusion with the People of the Book Regarding the Jizyah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is the slaughter of the Majus lawful, based on the hadith: "Treat them as the People of the Book are treated"?
Answer:
Treat them as the People of the Book are treated only in the taking of the jizyah (tax on protected non-Muslims). That is why the end of the hadith says: "other than eating their slaughtered meat or marrying their women." It is not permissible to marry the women of the Majus, nor is it permissible to eat their slaughtered meat, because they are mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah). However, they are included with the People of the Book only in the taking of the jizyah.
