Muwatta Malik 52 — Jihad

Muwatta MalikHadith Number 52

سُئِلَ مَالِكٌ عَنْ إِمَامٍ قَبِلَ الْجِزْيَةَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ فَكَانُوا يُعْطُونَهَا. أَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنْهُمْ. أَتَكُونُ لَهُ أَرْضُهُ، أَوْ تَكُونُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَيَكُونُ لَهُمْ مَالُهُ؟ فَقَالَ مَالِكٌ: «ذَلِكَ يَخْتَلِفُ. أَمَّا أَهْلُ الصُّلْحِ، فَإِنَّ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنْهُمْ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِأَرْضِهِ وَمَالِهِ. وَأَمَّا أَهْلُ الْعَنْوَةِ الَّذِينَ أُخِذُوا عَنْوَةً، فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنْهُمْ فَإِنَّ أَرْضَهُ وَمَالَهُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ. لِأَنَّ أَهْلَ الْعَنْوَةِ قَدْ غُلِبُوا عَلَى بِلَادِهِمْ. وَصَارَتْ فَيْئًا لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ. وَأَمَّا أَهْلُ الصُّلْحِ فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ مَنَعُوا أَمْوَالَهُمْ وَأَنْفُسَهُمْ. حَتَّى صَالَحُوا عَلَيْهَا. فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَّا مَا صَالَحُوا عَلَيْهِ»

Malik was asked whether, when an imam had accepted jizya from a people and they gave it, he thought that the land of one of them who surrendered belonged to him or whether his land and property belonged to the Muslims. Malik said, "That varies. As for the people of peace, if one of them surrenders, then he is entitled to his land and property. As for the people of force who use force, if one of them surrenders, his land and property belong to the Muslims because the people of force are overcome in their towns, and it becomes booty for the Muslims. As for the people of peace, their property and selves are protected so that they make peace for them. Only what they have made peace for is obliged of them."
