Wealth taken from a hostile non-Muslim: Is it for personal use or returned to the Muslim treasury?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I answered one of the brothers that it is permissible to take the wealth of a hostile non-Muslim, but is it for personal use or to be returned to the Muslim treasury?
The Shaykh : It is not for personal use.
The questioner : The people are ready.
The Shaykh : Unless they have military power. For example, if it is from the Khurasanis, then what is taken is considered war spoils, and a fifth is due.
