1:49:00  EAGLE joins to clarify zakat and jizyah.

The jizya tax, historically levied on non-Muslims in Islamic states, had no fixed percentage or rate specified in the Quran or hadiths, and its application varied widely across time, place, and rulers. Unlike zakat, which is typically 2.5% of a Muslim’s savings, jizya was often a fixed amount or scaled based on wealth, not a uniform percentage of income or assets.
Historical sources suggest jizya was typically structured in tiers:
  • Early Islamic period (7th–8th centuries): Rates were often one to four dinars annually for adult, free, sane males, depending on wealth (roughly 4.25 grams of gold per dinar). For context, this could equate to a significant burden for the poor but less for the wealthy.
  • Ottoman Egypt (17th–18th centuries): Jizya was collected based on economic status, with rates like 440 para for the rich, 220 for the middle class, and 110 for the poor. These were fixed sums, not percentages.
  • Mughal Empire (16th–17th centuries): Some sources claim jizya could be around 6% of property value for certain wealth thresholds under Aurangzeb, though this is debated and not universally applied.
Posts on X mention jizya as low as 2% of harvest or income, but these claims lack primary source backing and may oversimplify. Others suggest jizya was less than zakat (2.5%), but historical records show it could be more burdensome, especially for the poor, due to its fixed nature and lack of exemptions for poverty in some periods.
Given the variability, no single percentage applies universally. Jizya’s impact depended on local administration, economic conditions, and exemptions (e.g., women, children, the elderly, and military participants were often exempt). For precise rates, one would need to specify the era and region, as practices differed significantly.
