https://doi.org/10.22311/2074-1529-2020-16-3-27-47
Abstract
This publication is the third in a series of articles devoted to the dominant thesis in traditional Islamic political and legal theology about Jizya as a tribute from Non- Muslims, established by the Prophet Muhammad. The fi rst article analyzed the question of the authenticity, from a formal hadithological point of view (i. e., in the aspect of isnad), of the traditions about Nadjran deputation, and partly about the treaty with the Christians of Najran; in the second, this issue was considered already in a substantial way, referring to the composition of the Christian deputation. The present article continues this substantive analysis, but already in relation to the text of the Jizya treaty. The study is conducted in line with the reformistmodernist discourse, orientated on the disclosure of the tolerant- pluralistic intention of prophetic Islam.
