Note 3
(3) The statement: “Should not ride an animal, etc.”: This applies when not needed. If needed, e.g., if his horse dies in battle and he takes an enemy’s horse to fight, or wears clothes due to cold, it is permissible. When the need ends, it is returned to the spoils. As in (Badhl al-Majhud).
Note 3
(٣)قوله: فلا يركب دابة إلخ: هذا محمول على ما إذا لم يحتج إليه، وأما إذا احتاج إليه كما إذا هلك فرسه في المعركة،فأخذ فرس العدوّ يقاتل عليها، وكذلك الثياب إذا أخذه البرد مثلًا يجوز لبسه، فإذا انقضت حاجته ردَّها في الغنيمة.كذا في (بذل المجهود).
