islam is upon them. if they accept it before their islam the swords will be turned back from their necks to their nearest point. if they persist in their disbelief following their fathers in it we will extend the swords of truth to their necks and we will lead them in the path of the apostates. as for the wealth its ruling is the ruling of the wealth of the apostates. whatever is seized without the mobilization of horses and riders is the spoils of war complete with the apostate. the imam of truth will spend it in the manner of spoils according to the details included in the words of the most high 88 whatever allah has bestowed upon his messenger from the people of the towns allah has the right to take it. and for the messenger 88 the verse and what we have taken over by means of horses and camels it is not farfetched that he should treat it as spoils of war so that it is spent on its proper uses as is included in the words of the most high 88 and know that whatever you gain of anything a fifth of it belongs to god 88 the verse. and this is one of the paths of the jurists regarding the apostates and it is the most appropriate thing to rule with regarding these people even though the opinions are confused about it.
الإسلام عليهم فأن قبلو قبل إسلامهم وردت السيوف عن رقابهم إلى قربها وأن أصروا على كفرهم متبعين فيه آباءهم مددنا سيوف الحق إلى رقابهم وسلكنا بهم مسلك المرتدين وأما الأموال فحكمها حكم أموال المرتدين فما وقع الظفر به من غير إيجاف الخيل والركاب فهو فيء كمال المرتد فيصرفه إمام الحق على مصارف الفيء على التفصيل الذي اشتمل عليه قوله تعالي ٨٨ ما أفاء الله على رسوله من أهل القرى فلله وللرسول ٨٨ الآية وما استولينا عليه بإيجاف خيل وركاب فلا يبعد أن يسلك به مسلك الغنائم حتى يصرف إلى مصارفها كما اشتمل عليه قوله تعالي ٨٨ واعلموا أنما غنمتم من شيء فأن لله خمسه ٨٨ الآية وهذا أحد مسالك الفقهاء في المرتدين وهو أولى ما يقضى به في حق هؤلاءوأن كانت الأقاويل مضطربة فيه
