does not exempt the person responsible from paying compensation Fh, no penen from amongst those who oppose Islam, be they protected by treaty, may enter the Haram-irrespective of whether they wis be midest or are passing by- and this is the teaching of ash-Shab's, may Al have mercy on him, and most of the fagala. Abu Hanifah, however, pem their entry as long as they do not take up residence although the woods of A may He be exalted, "The mushrikus are filthy and they are not to com close to the Haram mosque, after this year" (Qur'an 9:28) prohibit di If a mask does enter, then he is given a discretionary punishment, if he d it without permission although it is not permitted to have him killed; if he be entered with permission, then the discretionary punishment is not infiel on him, and the person who gave the permission is blamed and he is given a discretionary punishment if his rank demands it, and the mushrik is expelled and gunneed safe passage. If the meshnik wants to enter the Haram to become Muslim there, he is prevented from this until he has become a Muslim befor entering if a molik dies in the Haram, it is forbidden to bury him therein and he is buried in the territory outside it; if he has been buried in the Haram, be transfered to the territory outside it unless the body has decomposed, in which case he is left there, as were the dead of the Jahiliyyah time.
It is permitted to allow them to enter other mosques as long as they do not wish to waste this opportunity by eating or sleeping there, in which case they are refused permission. Malik, however, says that they are not permitted to enter under any circumstances.

As for the Hijaz, al-Asma'i has said that this name (meaning barrier) refers to its acting as a barrier between Najd and Tihamah, while Ibn Kalbi says th is called so because of the mountains that enclose it. Apart from the H within it, it is different from the other territories in four ways: First, the man may not reside in it, be they dinis or people of Abu Hash, however, permits it although 'Ubaidullah ibn 'Abd-alih
dut the last thing to be confirmed by the Messenger, may the peace and blessing Mod has narrated that Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her u of Allah be upon him, was that, "Two der will not exist together in the A pesina Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, expelled

from the Hijar, but accorded traden and artisans three days, after which they were expelled. This practice became current and established itself as low; the As were prevented from taking up midence in the Hiar, but they could enter it as long as they did not stay in any place for more than three days at the end of this term, they were sent to another place, where they could stay for other three days, but if they stayed for more than this, then they were give dscretionary punishment, unless they had a valid excuse
Second, their corpses may not be buried theer, and they are transferred ebewhere if this happens- as their burial would imply their continued presence and that they had become residents-unless the distance involved is too great and they would decompose, in which case it is permitted to leave them buried in cases of necessity.
Third, the Madinah of the Messenger in the Hijaz, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, aho has a Haram which is inviolate territory within special boundary marks: it is forbidden to hunt in it or to cut down ins trees, just as in the Haram of Makkah. Abu Hanifah, however, permits all this and treats it as a town like any other - although in the above-mentioned hadith of Abu Hurairah, there is proof that the Haram of Madinah is inviolate. If someone kills its game or cuts down one of its trees, it is said by some that be must be stripped of his clothes in compensation, and by other, that he be given a discretionary punishment.
Fourth, the land of the Hijaz may be divided in two ways by virtue of the special fact that the Messenger of Allah himself, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, conquered it
i. This part refers to the Prophet's sadaqat-wealth, which he was entitled to take in two ways: the first, a fifth of the ku derived from the fey and the booty; and the second, four-fifths of the fry accorded by Allah to His Messenger from what had been acquired by the Muslims while not mounted on horses or camels (ie. without fight). Thus from what came to him from these two entitlements, he gave a small portion to some of his Companions, and retained the rest for his own expenses, and for the needs of the Muslims. When he died, however, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, the people differed as to the naling in this matter some considered that it was inherited from him, and that as such should
be divided amongst the inheritors, just like any other property, others, however, considered that it should be made over to the man, who in effect had taken over responsibility from him for the defence of the territories of Islam and the jihad against the enemy; the majority of the fake, however, say that this kind of wealth has an inviolate character, and that it is to be pot to special use, that is, spent on various public need
Besides his sadaqat-wealth there is the e-land which is not subject to the khasaj as it is either property taken as booty, or left to the original owners in
