جَالٍ
1.
Going forth, or emigrating, from his country, or town: [like جَالٌّ:] and so جَالِيَةٌ, applied to a company of people; [as also جَالَّةٌ;] (Msb;) or to people who have gone forth, or emigrated, from their homes; (S;) and particularly to those tributaries, (Mgh, Msb,) namely, certain Jews, (Mgh,) whom 'Omar expelled from the country of the Arabs; (Mgh, Msb;) and afterwards, to such as have the poll-tax imposed upon them, of the people of the Bible, and of the Magians, though not having emigrated from their homes; (Mgh;) [i. e.] the free non-Muslim subjects of a Muslim government; because they were expelled by 'Omar from Arabia; (K;) the word being feminine because denoting a جَمَاعَة; (Mgh;) and its plural is جَوَالٍ. (Mgh, Msb.)
2.
Hence, (Msb,)
جَالِيَةٌ [as a subst.] is applied to The poll-tax that is exacted from the persons last mentioned above; (S, Mgh, Msb;) as also جَالَّةٌ: (S:) first, in this sense, applied to that which was exacted from the people expelled from Arabia by 'Omar. (Msb.) You say, اُسْتُعْمِلَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى
الجَالِيَةِ [Such a one was employed as collector of the poll-tax]. (S, Mgh, Msb.)
