What they said on a captive in enemy hands and what he may do with his property

Hisham (may Allah have mercy on him) says that al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding a captive in the hands of the enemy: "If he gives someone a gift, or gives someone something of his own free will, and makes a bequest of a third of his wealth, it is valid."

Ibn Abi Dhi'b (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Imam al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "It is permissible for the captive to make a bequest of only a third of his wealth."
