7.1 Facts About the Economic System
伊斯兰教有一套独特的税收制度,其中不对穷人征税。只有三种定期税,向有能力缴纳的人征收:
Islam has a unique system of taxation where there is no taxation of the poor. There are only three types of regular taxes levied from those people who are able to pay:
1. 吉兹亚(Jizyah)——是向成年男性非穆斯林公民征收的一种税,这些人需有缴纳能力。其数额远低于穆斯林公民所需缴纳的任何税款。
1. Jizyah - Is a tax on mature male non-Muslim citizens who are able to pay it. This is much less than any tax on Muslim citizens.
2. 乌什尔(Ushr)——是对未被征服、处于国家管辖之下的土地所征收的一种税。若土地依靠雨水灌溉,则按收成的十分之一征收;若为人工灌溉,则按收成的二十分之一征收。
2. Ushr - Is a tax levied on unconquered land under the jurisdiction of the State, at the rate of one tenth of the produce if the land is irrigated by rain, or one twentieth if it is artificially irrigated.
3. 哈拉吉(Kharaj)——是对征服之地所征收的一种税,其税率由哈里发确定。
3. Kharaj - Is a tax levied on conquered land, whose rate is fixed by the Khaleefah.
