61. Sacrificial Animals
٦١۔ كِتَابُ الضَّحَايَا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote to the Magians of Hajar, offering them Islam. Whoever accepted it would be accepted, and whoever refused would have to pay the jizyah tax. They would not be allowed to eat the meat of animals sacrificed by Muslims nor marry Muslim women. This letter was sent and it is confirmed by the consensus of the majority of the Ummah.
كَتَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى مَجُوسِ هَجَرَ يَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْإِسْلَامَ فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ قَبِلَ مِنْهُ وَمَنْ أَبَى ضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْجِزْيَةُ عَلَى أَنْ لَا تُؤْكَلَ لَهُمْ ذَبِيحَةٌ وَلَا تُنْكَحُ لَهُمُ امْرَأَةٌ هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ وَإِجْمَاعُ أَكْثَرِ الْأُمَّةِ عَلَيْهِ يُؤَكِّدُهُ
