Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding stolen meat, “Feed it to the captives,” is it because they are disbelievers that they are fed from this?
Answer:
What is wasted and not preserved is fed to the captives. They are fed from it because they are in need of it, and the one in need is fed from such things due to the severity of their need.[Al-Insan 76:8]

And they give food in spite of love for it to the needy, the orphan, and the captive,
وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا
