May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: Is the spoils of war limited to military equipment, such as weapons, armor, and helmets?

Answer:
The weapons with the man, what is with the fighter, what is with the disbeliever whom you kill, what is with him of weapons and clothes, this is the spoils of war. As for what is with him of money and what is with him of wealth, this is war booty. Yes.
