... and they do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, nor do they follow the religion of truth, from among those who were given the Scripture, until they pay the jizyah (tax on protected non-Muslims) with their own hands

The Shaykh : ... [At-Tawbah 9:29], so He made the limit of fighting their payment of the jizyah (tax on protected non-Muslims) with their own hands while they are humbled. Accordingly, this hadith is specified by the verse, and specifying the Sunnah (the Prophet's way) by the Qur'an is rare, meaning it exists but is rare.
This is an example of that. And among it is His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Mumtahanah 60:10] This specifies the generality of what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) made a treaty with the polytheists at al-Hudaybiyyah, which is that whoever comes to us from them as a Muslim, then we... what is it?
We return them to them, so the generality includes even the women, but the verse excluded the women.
The correct view is that the jizyah (tax on protected non-Muslims) protects the blood of the Jew and the Christian, and the polytheist and others, because it is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family and his companions) that he took the jizyah from the Majus (the Zoroastrians) of al-Hijr, and the Majus (the Zoroastrians) are certainly not from the People of the Book. The claim of some scholars that they have a semblance of the Book or that they have a Book is rejected; this claim has no basis in what we know. And what indicates this is what Muslim narrated in his Sahih (authentic collection) from the hadith of Buraydah ibn al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family and his companions), when he appointed a commander over an army or a detachment, mentioned the hadith, and in it:, so the correct view is that the payment of the jizyah is a barrier against the permissibility of fighting any type of disbeliever. Yes.
And his saying: Yes, yes, Mustafa.
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
ولا يحرمون ما حرم الله ورسوله ولا يدينون دين الحق من الذين أوتوا الكتاب حتى يعطوا الجزية عن يدThis is an example of that. And among it is His saying, the Exalted:
O you who have believed, when the believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them. Allah is most knowing as to their faith. And if you know them to be believers, then do not return them to the disbelievers
يا أيها الذين آمنوا إذا جاءكم المؤمنات مهاجرات فامتحنوهن الله أعلم بإيمانهن فإن علمتموهن مؤمنات فلا ترجعوهن إلى الكفارWe return them to them, so the generality includes even the women, but the verse excluded the women.

that if they pay the jizyah, it is obligatory to cease fighting them
أنهم إذا أعطوا الجزية وجب الوقف عن قتالهمAnd his saying:
