The Ruling on the Share of the Pilot and the Rider in War Spoils
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Leave the pilot alone.
The presenter:
Two shares, because he is a rider. Do you know much?
The Shaykh:
The pilot, the rider, the cars, all of them, and the riders, they are all equal. No one is given a special share, because the airplane carries the soldiers, and the car carries all the soldiers. It does not become a separate category, the airplane. The ranks, the ranks, the ranks, they do it when there is a need, at the time of war. And the horse carries them by hand until the time of war. The horse is used at the time of war, for the charge and the retreat.
The presenter:
By Allah, you are the one who is committing a sin.
The Shaykh:
Airplanes and cars are like camels; they are mounts for them. Yes.
