在穆罕默德的政治与宗教实践以及后继的穆斯林统治者扩张与统治过程之中,伊斯兰国家逐渐形成了一系列管理迪米人的律法与惯制。本文通过对《麦地那宪章》、迪米人体制的肇始与赋税(以吉兹亚税为代表)、《欧麦尔条约》以及迪米人政治生态的考察,展示了中世纪时期纳税与自治构成了迪米人与穆斯林主要的经济与政治关系,主要表现为迪米人在宗教与政治依附穆斯林的状况下,通过更多的经济付出获取一定程度的自治,乃至宗教自由。穆斯林不断限制迪米人宗教以突出伊斯兰教优势地位,寻求在伊斯兰教与迪米人宗教之间建立一种等级关系,并确保穆斯林对政治权力的绝对掌握。自穆罕默德时期开始形成的迪米人与穆斯林之间的关系,影响了千年之久,直到1856年奥斯曼改革从法理上改变了历史上伊斯兰世界中迪米人的地位,实现了迪米人与穆斯林的地位平等,迪米人传统的律法与现实地位开始逐步瓦解。
In the political and religious practice of Mohammed and the process of Muslim rulers’ expansion and reign,a series of laws and conventions governing the Dhimmi were gradually formed. Through the investigation of Sahifah al—Madinah,the initiation of Dhimmi Systema,the Dhimmied taxation represented by the Jizya tax,Pact of Umar,and the political ecology of the Dhimmi,it shows that the tax and autonomy constitute the main economic and political relations between the Dhimmi and the Muslim in the Middle Ages. The legal and practical status of the Dhimmi in the Islamic world is mainly manifested by the fact that the Dhimmi acquires a certain degree of autonomy through more economic efforts under the condition that their religions and politics are attached to Muslims,namely,the Dhimmi obtains a certain degree of autonomy and even religious freedom through more economic expenditures,although Muslims continue to restrict the religion of the Dhimmi to highlight the dominant position of Islam,seeking to establish a hierarchical relationship between Islam and the religion of the Dhimmi,and ensure that Muslims have absolute control over political power. The relationship between the Dhimmi and Muslims,which began to form in the Muhammad period,has influenced for nearly a thousand years. Until 1856,the Ottoman Reform changed the status of the Dhimmi in the Islamic world,realized the equal status between the Dhimmi and Muslims from the perspective of jurisprudence,and gradually disintegrated the traditional legal and realistic status of the Dhimmi.
