Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the author's (may Allah have mercy on him) statement: "And if they conquer a land by the sword, is this land called fay' or ghanimah?"
Answer:
This is fay'. However, the imam has the choice regarding this fay' land, and it is not called ghanimah. Ghanimah applies only to movable wealth, whereas lands and buildings are fay'.
