Imam Sadiq (a.s) was asked about feeding the captives. He said: “It is the duty of the capturer to feed his captives. If he wants to kill him in the morning, he should give him food and water, and provide a shelter for him, whether the one who is captured is an infidel or not.”
سئل أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام) عن طعام الأسير، فقال: طعام الأسير على آسره، وإن كان يراد قتله من الغد فإنه ينبغي أن يطعم ويسقى ويظلل ويرفق به من كافر أو غيره.
