٥. بيع الغنائم على الكافرين
If the Muslims capture the wealth of the disbelievers as war booty, it is not permissible to sell it back to the same disbelievers, according to 'Ali (&). It was narrated that Umm Moosa said: "A vessel adorned with gold was brought to 'Ali ibn Abi Tilib; it was one of the vessels of the Persians. He wanted to break it down and divide it among the Muslims, hut some of the chieftains said: 'If yon break it, it will lose its value. We will pay you a good price for it.' 'Ali (&) said: 'I will not return to yon wealth that Allah has taken away from you.' Then he broke it down and divided it among the people."21o Amir al-Mu'mineen 'Ali (&) did that so that it would not remind them of their past glory or bring any benefit back to them.
