His statement, “And his property”: If someone were to ask, “How can his property become lawful when the covenant of his family has not been nullified? Should we not say that the property remains for his family?”
The answer is: No, because his family do not own his property until after his death. As long as he is alive, the property belongs to him. It has now become clear that he himself enjoys no inviolability; therefore, neither does his property.
قوله: «وماله» إذا قال قائل: كيف يحل ماله، وأهله لم ينتقض عهدهم؟ أفلا نقول: إن المال يبقى للأهل؟
الجواب: لا؛ لأن أهله لا يملكون ماله إلا بعد موته، أما وهو حي فالمال ماله، وتبين الآن أنه لا حرمة له بنفسه، فلا حرمة له بماله.
