Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it permissible to take the jizyah from the Majus?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took it from the Majus of al-Hajar. They say that the Majus have a semblance of a revealed book, and also the Prophet took it from the Majus of al-Hajar and said, "Treat them as you treat the People of the Book." Yes.
