Question 23
I used to work in provisions in the former army and took fifty thousand dinars in connection with clothing and equipment owed by soldiers. I would give part of these sums to the responsible officer and keep part for myself, because if I did not do so the officer would obstruct the soldiers' transactions and delay their discharge. I also took sixty thousand dinars from the administrative officer in the former army because I helped him organize salaries and ration accounts, and I do not know its source. Is this money considered found property, or does it belong to the soldiers?
Ahmed al-Hasan Response:
The state of the tyrant does not own property, and the property in Muslim lands belongs to the Imam (a) and the Muslims. If you took money from the tyrannical state while you needed it because of poverty, it belongs to you because you are one of the Muslims. If you took money from particular individuals, you must return it to them if you know them; otherwise, give an equivalent amount in charity to the poor.
