Awf ibn Malik narrated: When fay’ came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), he divided it on the same day, giving a married man two shares 3 and an unmarried man one share. I was called, and he gave me two shares because I was married. Then Ammar ibn Yasir was called after me, and he was given one share.

Note 3
(3) The statement: “Giving a married man two shares, etc.”: It is understood from this that the fay’ is used to provide sustenance for fighters and their dependents. In the commentary of “Durr al-Bihar,” dependents are explained as the wife and children. If they were not given sufficient sustenance, they would need to seek income, leaving them no time for fighting. This is taken from “Al-Hidayah” and “Radd al-Muhtar.” It is stated in “Nayl al-Awtar”: This indicates that the allocation should be according to the number of dependents a man is responsible for, such as women and others, as those besides the wife are similarly in need of provisions.

(٣)قوله: فأعطى الآهل حظين إلخ: ويستفاد منه أن يدفع من مال الفيء أرزاق المقاتلة وذراريهم، وفسر الذراري فيشرح (دررالبحار) بالزوجة والأولاد، فلو لم يعطوا كفايتهم لاحتاجوا إلى الاكتساب، ولا يفرغون للقتال. أخذتهمن (الهداية) و(رد المحتار). وقال في (نيل الأوطار): وفيه دليل على أنه ينبغي أن يكون العطاء على مقدار أتباعالرجل الذي يلزم نفقتهم من النساء وغيرهم؛ إذ غير الزوجة مثلها في الاحتياج إلى المؤنة.
