Is the ruling regarding maintenance, housing, and clothing the same for a protected non-Muslim woman (Dhimmiyya) as for a Muslim woman?

Primary text

The protected non-Muslim woman is treated the same as the Muslim woman regarding maintenance, housing, and clothing, according to the majority of scholars. This position is held by Malik, Shafi'i, Abu Thawr, and the scholars of opinion (Ashab al-Ra'y), based on the general nature of the texts and the underlying reasoning.
