and they are allowed to remain there so long as they abide by the peace treaty. No jizya is taken from their persons, because they are outside the Abode of Islam. If they breach the peace treaty after settling there, the matter must be considered. If ownership of the land has passed to someone else, does it retain its former status as an Abode of Covenant? There are two possible views. Al-Khiraqi held that the treaty is annulled with respect to the land, thereby making it an Abode of War. Abū Bakr held that it is not annulled; on this view, it remains an Abode of Covenant. If ownership has not passed to someone else, then the land becomes an Abode of War according to one unanimous view.
