Question:
Is it said that paying the jizyah is in exchange for Muslims protecting the disbelievers?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[At-Tawbah 9:29] In it is humiliation and degradation for them. So if they pay it while humbled, their blood is safe. That is not the purpose of it in exchange for protecting them. Yes. The purpose is their humiliation and degradation, and the honor and elevation of Islam over them. We cannot say, "We take dirhams from every disbeliever and say, 'Stay as you are, and we will protect you.' That is not acceptable. Yes.
