قَالَ مَالِكٌ : إِنْ بَاعَهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْغَزْوِ، فَإِنِّي أَرَى أَنْ يَجْعَلَ ثَمَنَهُ فِي غَنَائِمِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ. وَإِنْ بَلَغَ بِهِ بَلَدَهُ، فَلَا أَرَى بَأْسًا أَنْ يَأْكُلَهُ وَيَنْتَفِعَ بِهِ، إِذَا كَانَ يَسِيرًا تَافِهًا.
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: If a person finds food in the land of the disbelievers, eats from it, and some remains, is it permissible for him to bring it to his home or to sell it on the way and take its price? Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) replied: If he sells it in the state of jihad, then he should include its price in the spoils of war, and if he returns to his city, then in that case it is permissible to benefit from its food or its price when the thing is small and insignificant.
