MCQ Detailed View

The land of Fidk was bestowed to the Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as Fay. Fay refers to the wealth or property that is surrendered to the Islamic state without the use of force or battle. In the case of Fidk, the people of the area willingly handed over the land to the Prophet ﷺ after the Muslims gained influence in the region without engaging in war.

Fidk was a fertile and valuable land located near Khaybar. When the Muslims conquered Khaybar, the nearby area of Fidk was offered to the Prophet ﷺ as a peaceful settlement. Since there was no fighting involved in acquiring Fidk, it did not fall under the category of "Ghanimah" (booty of war) but rather as "Fay," which is distributed or held according to the discretion of the Prophet ﷺ or the Islamic state.

The garden of Fidk later became a subject of historical discussions after the demise of the Prophet ﷺ, particularly concerning inheritance and administration. However, from an Islamic jurisprudence perspective, its original classification was Fay.
