Draft:Fay

From wikishia

Fayʾ denotes property acquired by Muslims from disbelievers (kuffar) without resort to warfare or military expedition.[1] Qur'an 59:7 delineates six categories of beneficiaries for Fay':[2] God, the Prophet (s), relatives of the Prophet, orphans, the needy (miskinan), and Ibn al-Sabil.

Concerning the distinction between Fay' and Ghanima (spoils of war), it is posited that unlike Ghanima, Fay' encompasses assets derived from peace treaties, Jizya, and Kharaj (land tax).[3] Shaykh Tusi maintains that while Ghanima is to be utilized for the general welfare of Muslims, Fay' is the exclusive prerogative of the Prophet (s) or his successors.[4]

Conversely, some scholars equate Ghanima with Fay', arguing that the Verse of Khums abrogated Qur'an 59:6–7.[5] However, exegetes hold that the Verse of Khums was revealed in 2/624, following the Ghazwa Badr, whereas the Verse of Fay' pertains to the Banu al-Nadir incident, which occurred in 4/625–26. Consequently, the Verse of Khums cannot serve as the abrogator of the Verse of Fay'.[6] Kulayni regards Fay' and Ghanima as identical, contrasting Fay' instead with Anfal.[7] However, Husayn 'Ali Muntaziri asserts that Kulayni's view is incompatible with Qur'an 59:6–7.[8]

Shi'a exegetes classify Fay' as a governmental tax that reverts first to the Prophet (s) and subsequently to the Imam (a).[9] The term "Dhu l-Qurba" designates the Ahl al-Bayt of the Prophet and Banu Hashim, as they are religiously precluded from receiving Zakat.[10] Concerning the final three categories (orphans, the needy, and Ibn al-Sabil), some Shi'a exegetes argue that these entitlements are exclusive to the Banu Hashim,[11] whereas Sunni exegetes interpret them as applicable to the general populace.[12]

A prominent example of Fay' is the Village of Fadak.[13] Following the Ghazwa Khaybar, this property was assigned to the Prophet (s) because it was acquired peacefully without warfare;[14] the Prophet (s) subsequently gifted Fadak to Fatima (a).[15] After the Demise of the Prophet (s), the ownership of Fadak became a subject of significant dispute between the Shi'a and the Sunni,[16] eliciting varying responses from rulers across different historical periods.[17]
