Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah
As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
Obligation of Khumus- 28th Rabi-ath-Thani 1428 (16 May 2007)
Narrated Ibn Abi Aufa (Radhiallaho anho):
We were afflicted with hunger during the besiege of Khaibar,
and when it was the day of (the battle of) Khaibar, we
slaughtered the donkeys and when the pots got boiling (with
their meat), Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam)
made an announcement that all the pots should be upset and
that nobody should eat anything of the meat of the donkeys.
We thought that the Prophet prohibited that because the
Khumus had not been taken out of the booty (i.e. donkeys);
other people said, "He prohibited eating them for ever."
(The sub-narrator added, "I asked Said bin Jubair
(Radhiallaho anho) who said, 'He has made the eating of
donkeys' meat illegal for ever.'")
Bukhari Vol. 4 : No. 383
Khumus
One fifth of the war booty to be given to Allah's
Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) to distribute
according to Allah's Orders as stated in the Holy Quran
