Question:
What is the covenant mentioned in the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Anfal 8:72]
Answer:
The covenant of the oath is the agreement between us and the disbelievers. If they have a treaty with us, it is not permissible for us to fight them until the treaty expires or they commit treachery and break the treaty.[At-Tawbah 9:12] If they commit treachery, their treaty is annulled. However, if they fulfill the treaty, it is not permissible to fight them until their treaty expires. Yes.
