The Ruling on Taking Jizyah from Muslims

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. An Islamic writer says that jizyah is taken from Muslims if they do not participate in jihad, so the dhimmi (a non-Muslim under Muslim protection) and the Muslim are the same in paying jizyah. Is this statement correct?

Answer:
This is an invalid statement, and it stems from ignorance, may Allah protect us from it. It is not permissible to speak in such a way. Jizyah is not taken from a Muslim; jizyah is taken from a disbeliever. Yes.
