—who wrongs the Muslims and whose very business is to fight—may be put to death whether he is standing, sitting, or asleep. He may likewise be executed after falling captive, for the Prophet ﷺ put more than one prisoner to death—such as ‘Uqbah b. Abi Mu‘ayt and al-Nadr b. al-Harith (1). He also referred the case of the Banu Qurayzah to Sa‘d b. Mu‘adh when they surrendered; Sa‘d ruled that their fighting men be slain and their women and children taken captive. Accordingly, they were all executed, and they numbered two hundred (2).
