Jizya Imposed On Persians (Faris Kai Majoosi)
Jizya is actually a part of that punishment for people of the book. The narration refers to two parties, one is Rome, who were christians ( Maseehi ) and second one is Persians ( Faris ) who were Zoroastrians ( Majoosi ) by religion. For people of the book ( Jews and Christians ), Quran has imposed living under Jizya as their punishment. As for the Persians, their imposition of Jizya Punishment was an Ijtihad done by Sahaba and it was in accordance with Quran (22:17) [1] and Saying of the Prophet (SWS).
