about the mujahid who does not take the war spoils?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. We mentioned that if the mujahid intends with his intention the reward...
The Shaykh : ...with the reward, with the reward.
The questioner : ...with the reward.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ...like one who did not take
The Shaykh : Like one?
The questioner : So would his reward be like that of one who did not take anything?
The Shaykh : This requires consideration. We ask: why did he not take it? Did he intend to deviate from what the Sunnah brought? If he says yes, then he is in danger, great danger, because the Companions, who are the best of this Ummah, took them. Indeed, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Muwatta Malik 21:21 This is all encouragement to fight... and they rush to kill the slain to take his spoils. Yes?
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : ...with the reward, with the reward.
The questioner : ...with the reward.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ...like one who did not take
The Shaykh : Like one?

If he says yes, then he is in danger, great danger, because the Companions, who are the best of this Ummah, took them. Indeed, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever kills someone can have his effects
من قتل قتيلا فله سلبهThe questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you.
