We consider the single scattering of the non-polarized radiation of a central star on the electrons of a plasma circumstellar envelope. We assume that such an envelope is magnetized and consists of a turbulent plasma. Two types of envelopes are considered: a spherical envelope with the dipole magnetic field and a cone-like jet with the radial magnetic field. It is shown that the existence of turbulent motions in the envelopes drastically changes the polarization degree spectrum p(λ) and the positional angle spectrum χ(λ) of scattered radiation compared to the non-turbulent case. The difference in spectra can be used to estimate the ratio for the energy of magnetic fluctuations to the energy of a regular magnetic field.
