5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنْ صَدَقَاتِ أَهْلِ الْجِزْيَةِ وَمَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ ثَمَنِ خُمُورِهِمْ وَلَحْمِ خَنَازِيرِهِمْ وَمَيِّتِهِمْ قَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْجِزْيَةُ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ ثَمَنِ لَحْمِ الْخِنْزِيرِ أَوْ خَمْرٍ وَكُلُّ مَا أُخِذُوا مِنْهُمْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَوِزْرُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَثَمَنُهُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ حَلاَلٌ يَأْخُذُونَهُ فِي جِزْيَتِهِمْ.

Published English translation

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “I once asked abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of al-Jizyah of taxpayers and what is received from them from their wine or flesh of pigs and dead animals. He (the Imam) said, ‘They must pay al-Jizyah which is due on their assets from the flesh of pigs and the value of their wine. Whatever is received from them, its sin is upon them, and its value is lawful for the Muslims which they receive as al-Jizyah.’ ”
