Leaving lost sheep in their place

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And it is the Shaykh. The lost sheep of the one who fought the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is, or is it to clay or the wolf? And the question is: if he is safe for himself from returning to pay a debt or out of fear of the light of its characteristics, does he leave it in its place? And is he safe by doing so or not?

Answer:
He leaves it in its place. He is not required to take it; it is permissible for him to take it under the conditions. It is permissible for him to take it under the conditions. As for if he leaves it, there is no blame on him, except if this animal, I mean, is harmed. Then it is from the category of excellence (ihsan) that he not leave it to die; he waters it or feeds it, from the category of excellence, not from the category of obligation. Yes.
