Al-Andalus also known as Muslim Spain or Islamic Iberia, was a medieval Muslim territory occupying at its peak most of what are today Spain and Portugal.

The non-Muslims were given the status of ahl al-dhimma (the people under protection). Those who were neither Christians nor Jews, such as pagans, were given the status of Majus.

Jews constituted more than five percent of the population. Al-Andalus was a key centre of Jewish life during the early Middle Ages, producing important scholars and one of the most stable and wealthy Jewish communities.
