Rulings on the Spoils of a Killed Person and the Condition of Proof
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
What has reached me is that it is well known to occur, but I have not received a chain of narration to rely upon.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. The wealth of the slain is taken as spoils; for killing him, his wealth is taken.
The Shaykh:
If there was something of shirk (associating partners with Allah) in his pocket.
The questioner:
If it was a lot.
The Shaykh:
He is declared a disbeliever as long as everything with him is safe.
The questioner:
Does the killer have the right to take the spoils, whether the imam announced it or not?
The Shaykh:
This is a legal matter, a ruling of the Shari'ah.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
He announced that whoever kills a slain person has the right to his spoils.
The questioner:
Whether it was.
The Shaykh:
Encouraging the mujahideen to advance with strength and courage in fighting the disbelievers.
The questioner:
Now, if the imam prevents taking the spoils, is it not recommended that it be.
The Shaykh:
He has no one who opposes the Shari'ah.
The questioner:
The Messenger said: Both of them killed him, then he gave it to 'Amr.
The Shaykh:
When he saw that the blow, or Mu'adh, was the one he saw as the one who placed it upon Abu Jahl, he revealed a verse regarding it.
The questioner:
Do you commit to providing proof, Abdullah, regarding the loan that he killed him? Or did he fight, meaning?
The Shaykh:
There must be proof that he killed him. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe.
The Shaykh:
It is not enough to complain; there must be two witnesses that he killed him.
