Is the jizyah specific to the People of the Book, or is it general for every disbeliever?

The questioner : If it is possible, we can raise the old question and record it; otherwise, we will move on to a new question. As for the old one, Shaykh, which is not recorded and which we hope our brothers who were sitting in the house... It is the saying of our Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He): [At-Tawbah 9:29]. Now, a professor says, does this apply specifically to the People of the Book paying the jizyah, or is it general for every disbeliever and Muslim?
The Shaykh : My brother, we have discussed this issue repeatedly... I mean, your problem is that each one of you has to give an introduction? Each one? The work will never end.
The questioner : The point, Shaykh, is that the answer was extensive, and you mentioned to us the rules of the absolute and the restricted, which is what we thought we did not have...
The Shaykh : It is in recorded tapes, and it is not reasonable that I... in every session...
The questioner : So, the other question, Shaykh, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : We need questions that are not beaten to death, that are not repetitive.
Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.
