Third :

The meaning of Jizya (poll tax) in is totally different from how they imagine to be; it is a financial tax levied on non-Muslims that they have those features:



First :

they don’t believe in Allah nor the Judgment Day a correct believe that Allah Almighty becomes satisfied with.



Second :

They do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful ; they don’t follow the law of Islam in banning the unlawful…..



Third :

They do not believe in the correct religion, and it is the religion of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) the religion of all the messengers is the Islam religion.

The previous definition came in Allah Almighty’s speech : “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.” Al Tawba 29

Moreover the child , women, the mad , the blind, the patient , the old man, the poor, and the slave warrior who does not have any money are exempted from paying tax….

Al-Qartuby (Allah grant mercy upon his soul) said in his explanation (Part 8 page 112) : our scholars (Allah grant mercy upon their soul) : What Quran refers to is that the tax will be taken from man fighters; cause Allah Almighty says : “kill those” till His speech “until they give the jizyah” that means the fighter must give the tax. And means that paying tax is not levied on slave even if he is fighter, cause he has no money , and for Allah Almighty’s speech : “until they give”. We can not say (until he gives) to one who does not own. All the Muslim scholars have the same opinion that the free adult men are obliged to pay tax, they are those who fight and not including the women, children, the slaves, the mad who lost their min and the very old man.

That will be clear in Allah Almighty saying : “So if they remove themselves from you and do not fight you and offer you peace, then Allah has not made for you a cause [for fighting] against them”. Al-Nisa 90.

So the poll tax is taken only from fighter, and if he was an owned poor slave he is not obliged to pay the poll tax……
