قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: لَا بَأْسَ كَمَا يَسْتَأْجِرُ مِنْهُمْ إِبِلَهُمْ وَبُيُوتَهُمْ وَرَقِيقَهُمْ وَمَا دَفَعَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَوْ إِلَى السُّلْطَانِ بِوِكَالَتِهِمْ، فَلَيْسَ بِصَغَارٍ عَلَيْهِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ دَيْنٌ عَلَيْهِ يُؤَدِّيهِ ⦗235⦘ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: وَالْحَدِيثُ الَّذِي يُرْوَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لَا يَنْبَغِي لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يُؤَدِّيَ خَرَاجًا وَلَا لِمُشْرِكٍ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ خَرَاجُ الْجِزْيَةِ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَقَدِ اتَّخَذَ أَرْضَ الْخَرَاجِ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْوَرَعِ وَالدِّينِ وَكَرِهَهُ قَوْمٌ احْتِيَاطًا قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: أَمَّا الْكَرَاهِيَةُ فَفِيمَا.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "There is no harm in it, just as he hires from them (the disbelievers) their camels, their houses and their slaves; and whatever he pays to them, or to the ruler as their agent, is not a humiliation for him; rather, it is a debt upon him which he pays."
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "As for the hadith narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): 'It is not proper for a Muslim to pay kharaj, nor for a polytheist to enter al-Masjid al-Haram,' what is meant by it is only the kharaj of jizyah."
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Some people of piety and religion have taken kharaj land, while some people disliked it out of caution."
The Shaykh (Imam al-Bayhaqi) (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "As for the dislike, it is based on the narration that follows."

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا هَارُونُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَكَّارِ بْنِ بِلَالٍ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ سُمَيْعٍ، ثنا زَيْدُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " مَنْ عَقَدَ الْجِزْيَةَ فِي عُنُقِهِ فَقَدْ بَرِئَ مِمَّا عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ".
Abu Abdullah narrates from Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Whoever ties the jizyah around his neck has become free of the way upon which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was."
