Brief Explanation
Benefits: ... The singular of ‘ushur is ‘ashr, which means one-tenth. By this is meant one-tenth of merchandise for trade and the like. We have rendered its conceptual meaning as "tax." Such a tax may be collected from non-Muslims as specified in the agreement; otherwise, it is not permissible.
