Bayhaqi Q20441 — Reports on the wage of the divider

قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُعْطَى أَجْرُ الْقَسَّامِ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْمَالِ، لِأَنَّ الْقَسَّامَ حَكَّامٌ.
قَالَ الشَّيْخُ الْفَقِيهُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: " قَدْ رُوِّينَا فِي سَهْمِ الْمُصَالِحِ سَهْمُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ لِنَوَائِبِهِ وَنَوَائِبِ النَّاسِ.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "The wage of those who divide (al-qassam) should be given from the public treasury (bayt al-mal), because those who divide are (in a sense) judges."
The Shaykh, the jurist (Imam al-Bayhaqi) (may Allah have mercy on him), said: "It has been narrated to us concerning the share for public interests, that is, the share of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that it was for his (own) needs and the needs (and calamities) of the people."
