Sunan Ibn Majah 2838 (Book 24, Hadith 86) #32192
Permissibility of Killing and Spoils of War in Islam

SUMMARY: Killing is permissible in Islam, and the spoils of war are to be given to the killer.

It was narrated from the son of Samurah bin Jundub that his father said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever kills, the spoils are his.’"
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَالِكٍ الأَشْجَعِيُّ، عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ قَتَلَ فَلَهُ السَّلَبُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the permissibility of killing in Islam, as well as what happens to the spoils after a battle. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that whoever kills, then they will receive the spoils from it. This means that if someone kills another person during a battle or war, then they will receive whatever was taken from them such as money or possessions. This hadith also teaches us that killing is permissible in certain circumstances such as self-defense or during a war. It also teaches us that we should not take more than what we need when taking spoils from an enemy, and instead share it with others who were involved in the battle or conflict.
