Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is the obstruction of the caravan in the expeditions the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent, and in his battles, considered a form of the ambush and treachery that is prohibited?
Answer:
No. You know that the polytheists transgressed against the Muslims and drove them out of their homes and their wealth; they expelled them from their land. Allah wants to compensate them, because these are oppressors. Allah wants to compensate them from the wealth of the polytheists for what they took from the Muslims.
