Point 6:

Clarification of the judgment regarding the property of unbelievers at a time when they are being consorted with and have security from bloodshed.

In the Sahih of al-Bukhari, it says that al-Mughira kept the company of some people in the Jahiliyya and then killed them and took their property.

Then he became Muslim. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “His Islam is accepted, but none of his property.”

Al-Qastallani said in Irshad as-Sari, the commentary on al-Bukhari, that the words of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, “His Islam is accepted, but none of his property,” means, “I will not have anything to do with it because he took it by treachery.” This is because, although the property of the idol worshippers can be taken by force, it is not lawful to take it in time of security. If a man is another man’s companion, then the life of each of them should be safe from the other. Taking property by treachery from the unbelievers and others is forbidden. Their property is lawful by raiding and combat.

This is enough to achieve the answer to the point.

O Allah! Show us the true as true and make us follow it! Show us the false as false and make us avoid it!
