Critical Analysis of Traditions About Jizya From the Christians of Dumat al-Jandal
https://doi.org/10.22311/2074-1529-2024-20-3-71-92
Abstract
This publication continues the study of relevant traditions about the Tabuk expedition (in the ninth year of the Hijra), which was started in the fourth issue of the journal for 2023, as well as the dominant thesis in traditional political and legal theology about the jizya-tribute from infidels, allegedly established by the Prophet Muhammad. Information about the imposition of such a tribute on the Christian city Dumat al-Jandal after the raid on it under the command of Khalid ibn al-Walid is subject to formal (hadithological) and substantive verification. The research is carried out in line with the reformist- modernist orientation towards revealing the truly humanistic, pacifist- pluralistic spirit of the Quranic message and overcoming medieval, exclusivist-militantist interpretations of prophetic Islam.
