Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
That one of these people fights on the land.
Answer:
Yes, the verse does not contain an order. So, whichever of these eight categories he gives to, it is sufficient, because the verse does not contain an order. The verse uses the conjunction "wa" (and), and the conjunction "wa" does not imply order or sequence. Yes. So, whether he gives to all of them, distributing it among the eight, or gives the whole amount to some of them, it is sufficient. Even if he restricts it to one category, it is sufficient, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "It is taken from their rich and returned to their poor." He did not mention more than one category. Allah. If Allah wills.
