The questioner:
Yahya ibn Bukayr narrated to us, saying: Al-Layth narrated to us, from 'Amir, from Abu Shihab, from 'Urwah, from 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). You are excellent.
The Shaykh:
He does it upon him. He is a Muslim. What Allah wills for you.
The questioner:
If a person is in jihad and fighting and finds war spoils but loses them, is he considered to have done the best he could?
The Shaykh:
Did he lose it? How did he lose it?
The questioner:
Did he lose it or was he negligent with it.
The Shaykh:
It is under the ruling of the one who is prevented. If he was negligent, then he has committed the sin of negligence. If he was not negligent, there is no harm. Yes.
The questioner:
They are liable for it.
The Shaykh:
If he was not negligent, then the negligence is upon him and the loss is upon him. If he was not negligent, then the harm is upon him. Yes.
