Umar ibn Abdul Aziz said, "Consider the will of the captive valid, set him free, and do not interfere with his property as long as he does not change his religion, for it is his property and he can do whatever he wishes with it."

قَالَ وَكَانَ شُرَيْحٌ يُوَرِّثُ الأَسِيرَ فِي أَيْدِي الْعَدُوِّ وَيَقُولُ هُوَ أَحْوَجُ إِلَيْهِ. وَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ أَجِزْ وَصِيَّةَ الأَسِيرِ، وَعَتَاقَهُ، وَمَا صَنَعَ فِي مَالِهِ، مَا لَمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ عَنْ دِينِهِ، فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مَالُهُ، يَصْنَعُ فِيهِ مَا يَشَاءُ.
