Question:
You mentioned in your commentary on the book *Fath al-Mujid* that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used the wealth that was with al-Lat to ransom Urwah ibn Mas'ud al-Thaqafi.
Answer:
In settling the debt of Urwah ibn Mas'ud.
Q: And it is reported in the hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the fee of the fortune-teller and the dowry of the prostitute, so how...?
A: There is no contradiction. What is found in the places worshipped other than Allah is to be spent on the interests of the Muslims, like what was found with al-Lat. So if there are graves that are worshipped and they have treasuries, their wealth is to be spent on the interests of the Muslims.
