As for their obligations, from a general perspective, Ibn Qudaamah listed these obligations in his ‘Al-Mughni’ and it is possible to place them in five categories:

  1. That which the ‘Aqd (contract) of adh-Dhimmah is not completed without its mention, and there are two matters: Commitment to the Jizyah and the application of the Ahkaam of the people of Islaam upon them.
  2. To leave that which is harmful to the Muslims and their property, like aggressing against the Muslims by striking or looting.
  3. To avoid that which is derogatory against the Muslims, like making remarks about Islaam, the Qur’aan or the Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) in an improper manner.
  4. To avoid displaying that which is a Munkar, like drinking alcohol in the public places of the Muslims.
  5. Distinguishing themselves from the Muslims with a specific sign that they are recognised by, which could be in their clothing or something else.
[Al-Mughni Ibn Qudaamah (706-718/10)]
