موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب الجهادBook: On the Explanation of Jihad
بَابُ مَا يَجُوزُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ أَكْلُهُ قَبْلَ الْخُمُسِWhat is permissible for Muslims to eat before the one-fifth is taken
Hadith 975Q4
وَسُئِلَ مالكٌ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُصِيبُ الطَّعَامَ فِي أَرْضِ الْعَدُوِّ، فَيَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ وَيَتَزَوَّدُ، فَيَفْضُلُ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ، أَيَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَنْ يَحْبِسَهُ فَيَأْكُلَهُ فِي أَهْلِهِ، أَوْ يَبِيعَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْدَمَ بِلَادَهُ فَيَنْتَفِعَ بِثَمَنهِ؟
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If these things are not eaten and are brought for distribution, then it would cause hardship to the army; in this case, eating them is permissible, but only as much as necessary according to custom, and it is not permissible for anyone to keep any of these things aside and take them to his home.
