Since Zakat can only be given to Poor Muslims can a Christian or a Jew who is Poor living under the Sharia get help from Sadaqah ? Im asking this question because the Dhimmi do pay Jizya correct/right can the Jizya wealth and or money or the revenue not be used to help Poor Disabled or Sick Dhimmi ? Im asking this because many people here in the West are used to the State helping them or the Government Services like Welfare I think there would be more Non Muslims open to living under the Sharia if they could still keep their Social Security thank you ?
Muslim scholars disagree whether the poor that qualify should include non-Muslims. Some state that Zakat may be paid to non-Muslims, but only after the needs of Muslims have been met.[19]

Why Jizyah? And how much are the taxes for both Muslims and non-Muslims?
The Muslims have to pay taxes (which is 2.5 percent of their annual income) under the name of "Zakah" to the "Muslim Financial Institute" or the "House of the Muslim Money" which all goes to provide welfare to the poor and the needy citizens; from both Muslims and non-Muslims. The poor and the needy (such as the Orphans, Widows and the disabled) from the Muslims are exempt from paying taxes.
The non-Muslims have to pay a varrying amount under the name of "Jizyah", depending on their situation, which is taxes that don't go to help poor and needy Muslims, but instead, it goes to the government to (1) Provide protection for them since they are a minority; (2) Provide means for them to practice their religions freely by building Temples or Churches for them.
