Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu anhu) differentiating between Muslims and non-Muslims

· 19 Safar 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I want to know about Hazrat Umar's (radhiyallahu anhu) pact which is given in Tafseer Ibn Kathir. It is mentioned that he made some conditions for Zimmis that they should not build any worshipping area and they should wear different clothes, etc. I read that some scholars don't think it is accurate. What is your stance?

Answer

How can we disagree with an illustrious person like Hadhrat Umar (radhiyallahu anhu).

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
