Egyptian Cleric Explains Enslavement of People Captured in Jihad: They All Become Booty (Archival)

In a lecture, Egyptian cleric Abu Ishaq Al-Heweny explained how the enslavement of people in countries conquered by Jihad is carried out. "In every war there is a winner and a loser," he said. "According to the rules of Islam, all the people in the [conquered] country become booty," and are "divided between the mujahideen," he said. Al-Heweny also talked about the benefits of slave markets, saying that they were useful if you needed a little spare cash. The lecture was posted on the Internet on June 8, 2011.
