Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on the army commander giving a share of the war spoils to a warrior who is ascetic, or to someone else, without a judge, before the spoils are distributed?
Answer:
It depends on the public benefit. If the one in authority or the army commander sees that giving this person a share is in the interest of the Muslims, such as encouraging him to fight, or bringing him and others to unity, or repelling his harm or the harm of others from the Muslims, then he is given. Even a disbeliever is given what repels his harm from the Muslims.
