Islamic taxes are taxes sanctioned by Islamic law.
Islamic taxes include:

ii. jizya - a per capita yearly tax historically levied by Islamic states on certain non-Muslim subjects—dhimmis—permanently residing in Muslim lands under Islamic law, the tax excluded the poor, women, children and the elderly.
iii. kharaj - a land tax initially imposed only on non-Muslims but soon after mandated for Muslims as well.
