Abstract We have calculated some properties of spin polarized strange quark matter (SQM) in a strong magnetic field at zero temperature using the MIT bag model. We showed that the equation of state of spin polarized SQM is stiffer than that for unpolarized cases. We have also computed the structural properties of a spin polarized strange quark star (SQS) and found that the presence of a magnetic field leads to a more stable SQS when compared to the structural properties of an unpolarized SQS.
