21.9 Mtu Aliyelindwa (al-Mu'stamin)
21.9 The Protected Person (al-m'ustamin)
Mustamin, pamoja na kasra chini ya meem, ni yule anayetafuta usalama. Ni yule anayeingia katika nchi ya mtu mwingine kwa dhamana ya usalama, yaani yule anayeingia katika nchi ya mwingine kwa dhamana ya usalama, iwe ni Muislamu au ni mpiganaji wa adui. Iwapo Muislamu ataingia katika nchi ya vita (Dar al-Harb) kwa dhamana ya usalama, haijuzu kwake kuwapinga kwa jambo lolote, kwa kuwa Waislamu wamefungwa na masharti yao. Akitoka na chochote katika mali yao ambacho hakukichukua kwa nguvu, kama vile alichukua kwa hila au wizi, umiliki wake wa vitu hivyo ni umiliki usiojuzu, na ni lazima avitoe kuwa sadaka. Ama akivichukua kwa nguvu, vitarudishwa kwao, kwa kuwa mali iliyochukuliwa kwa nguvu ni dhamana kwa aliyenyang'anywa; vitarudishwa kwake, iwe alikuwa kafiri au Muislamu. Kama vile kuingia kwa Muislamu katika nchi ya kufuru kwa dhamana ya usalama kunavyoruhusiwa, ndivyo mpiganaji wa adui anavyoruhusiwa kuingia katika nchi ya Waislamu kwa dhamana ya usalama.

The “M'ustamin” with a “kasra” in the “meem” is the one seeking security. He is the one entering the homeland of another with a security i.e. the one who enters another’s country with a security whether he was a Muslim or belligerent. If the Muslim enters the war homeland (Dar al-Harb) with a security, it is forbidden for him to oppose anything from them as Muslims are bound by their conditions. If he leaves with anything of their property which he did not take by force such as he took by guile or theft, his possession of these is a forbidden ownership and he must give them as sadaqa. Whereas if he seizes by force, it is returned to them since seizure by force is ensured for the one seized from; it is returned to him whether he was a disbeliever or a Muslim. Just as a Muslim’s entry into the kufr land is allowed with a security, the belligerent is allowed to enter the Muslims’ land with a security. The Messenger of Allah (saw) did give security to the disbelievers on the day of the conquest of Makkah and said:
