Hadith 674Q6

قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَتَفْسِيرُ قَوْلِهِ : لَا يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ مُفْتَرِقٍ : أَنْ يَكُونَ النَّفَرُ الثَّلَاثَةُ الَّذِينَ يَكُونُ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ أَرْبَعُونَ شَاةً ، قَدْ وَجَبَتْ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ فِي غَنَمِهِ الصَّدَقَةُ ، فَإِذَا أَظَلَّهُمُ الْمُصَدِّقُ جَمَعُوهَا ، لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِيهَا إِلَّا شَاةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ. فَنُهُوا عَنْ ذَلِكَ ¤ وَتَفْسِيرُ قَوْلِهِ : وَلَا يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ أَنَّ الْخَلِيطَيْنِ يَكُونُ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مِائَةُ شَاةٍ وَشَاةٌ ، فَيَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمَا فِيهَا ثَلَاثُ شِيَاةٍ. فَإِذَا أَظَلَّهُمَا الْمُصَدِّقُ ، فَرَّقَا غَنَمَهُمَا ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا إِلَّا شَاةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ. فَنُهِيَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ. فَقِيلَ : لَا يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ مُفْتَرِقٍ ، وَلَا يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ. خَشْيَةَ الصَّدَقَةِ. ¤ قَالَ مَالِكٌ : فَهَذَا الَّذِي سَمِعْتُ فِي ذَلِكَ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: The explanation of this statement is that, for example, three men each had forty sheep, so one sheep was obligatory on each of them. When the zakat collector came, those three combined their sheep so that only one sheep would have to be given; this act is prohibited. And, for example, if each of the partners has one hundred and one sheep, then together they have two hundred and two sheep, and three sheep become obligatory from them. When the zakat collector came, both of them separated their sheep so that only one sheep would be obligatory on each; this act is also prohibited. Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: And this is what I have heard regarding this matter.
