The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: Why did the Muslims not return what they took from the disbelievers after fighting them in the sacred months?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe. Why did the Muslims not return the money of the polytheists that they took?
The Shaykh:
Because they went out to take it so that the Muslims could be strengthened by it. How could they return it when they took it intentionally by the command of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: Is it permissible?
The Shaykh:
He wants them to take the money without killing in the sacred month. So they carried out the taking, but they erred regarding the one who was killed. Yes.
