Muslims - Is it true that a woman can be taken as a plunder (Mala-e-Ghanimat) in Islam?

Answer 1

Yes under Islamic law and history is true.

Answer 2

What would the Christians do, when they win a war, to the women who left behind, no husband no male relatives.
Leave them, let them starved ?

The worst I've read in the news is what the American soldiers do in Iraq, they rape the women and the litle girls. Then killed them.
They did the same in Vietnam.
I think they were Christians.
Is that what to do in Christianity teaching in war?

Maybe that's why Islam said : take them, and marry them.

I know Islam is a misunderstood religion; What I didn't realized is , it's treated by hatred.
The ironic is when muslims revenged it's called terrorist.
Never mind.
Our Lord, Knows what really is in people's mind and heart.
My Lord is NOT BLind .

"When the Lord delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the males .... As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves." (Deuteronomy 20:13-14) "You will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you." (Deuteronomy 28:53) "The Lord said to Joshua [...] 'you are to hamstring their horses.' " (Exceedingly cruel.) (Joshua 11:6) "... Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword and; also the women and little ones.... every male and every woman that has lain with a male you shall utterly destroy." (Judges 21:10-12) "This is what the Lord says: Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and *** .... And Saul ... utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword." (1 Samuel 15:3,7-8) "The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their women with child ripped open." (Hosea 13:16) "A curse on him who is lax in doing the LORD's work!A curse on him who keeps his sword from bloodshed!" (Jeremiah 48:10

Answer 4

Nope.....prisoners(male & female) can be taken but they must be treated fairly.....not as loot or plunder.....infact plundering is against Islam...of course Al-Queda does it i mean plunder weapons and ammo

1) because they are not Muslims

2) army consisitng of trained soldiers using advanced weapons, who fight wit....farm hands and shepards who have lost loved ones and have lost all sense of reoanbilty.....so i guess its good to have a few good weapons

Answer 5

Yes under Islamic law and history is true.

Answer 6

When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it.
And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, [that] all the people [that is] found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.
And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, [even] all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities [which are] very far off from thee, which [are] not of the cities of these nations. -- Deu 20:10-15

[64] Chavel 1967, v.I, 200f. The Bible references are Deuteronomy 20.

There are two types of war applicable to the 21st Century believers :

1. milhemet hova (obligatory war)
2. milhemet reshut (optional war)

This obligation is commented by Rabbi Chavel:

"This Commandment ... will be better understood in the light of the following passage from the 'Mishneh Torah': '

We are not to engage in war with anyone whatever unless we [first] proclaim peace to him; [this is applicable to both] an optional and an obligatory war; for it is said, When thou drawest nigh a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it (Deut XX, 10).

If [the inhabitants] accept the offer of peace... we are not to slay a soul among them, and they merely become tributary, for it is said, [All the people ... therein] shall become tributary unto thee, and shall serve thee'." (Ibid.)

****** OT COMMAND BY THE LORD OF ABRAHAM : *****

Step 1 --- Give them the option of peace (to become believers)
Step 2 ---- If they want to keep their religion, they must pay the Tribute (Head Tax)
Step 3 ---- If they deny the above two options then kill them all or enslave them.

In other words, if the city's inhabitants object to being subdued/enslaved, they have to be slain nevertheless. Also sparing their life directly contradicts Negative Commandment 49 (see note [65]).

"We must not make a covenant with idolaters, to agree on keeping peace with them or accept them practising idolatry, because it says (Deut 7:2) Thou shalt not make a covenant with them. Either they give up idolatry or they are killed. And it is forbidden to pity them, since it says (ibid.): Nor shalt thou shew mercy unto them.

The above references the command from the OLD TESTAMENT which according to Judaic law is applicable for all time and for all believers.
