Abstract:
Discusses the legal history of the dhimmis' right under Islamic law to live in Muslim lands. Analyzes the opinion of al-Tabari, a 9th-century jurist, that dhimmis may live in Muslim areas only as long as there is a need for them, otherwise they must be expelled. Notes that this was contrary to normative practice in most Islamic countries and generally the Jews were allowed to remain.
