Note 2

I obtained a sack of fat, etc.

(2) The statement: “I obtained a sack of fat, etc.”: Ibn al-Malik said: This shows fighters may take needed food from the spoils. Eating food and using fat for the body or lamps are equivalent. As in (Al-Mirqat).

Note 2

قوله

(٢) قوله: أصبت جرابا من شحم إلخ: قال ابن الملك: فيه جواز أخذ المجاهدين من طعام الغنيمة قدر ما يحتاج إليهاهـ. وتقدم أن الانتفاع بالادهان في البدن له حكم أكل الطعام. وقد يحتاج أيضًا إلى الشحم للسراج ونحوه. كذا في (المرقاة).
