In order for the Religion of Peace to be spread throughout the world, regulations on booty and its distribution had to be promulgated.
30.3a. The fifth – When the Muslims gain booty by having fought and won it, their leader takes one fifth and divides the remaining four-fifths between those doing the fighting. It is better for this dividing up to take place where the battle was fought.
30.3b Which booty is divided – Only booty that has been fought for using horses and camels or taken after combat is to be divided up in this way.
30.3c Use of food or fodder – If part of the spoils consist of food or fodder, there is no harm in any who need it taking some before the division takes place.
30.4a Those actively involved in jihad – A share of the booty is only given to those who take part in the fighting or who are prevented from doing so by being occupied with the jihad in some other way.
30.4b If someone is ill – Anyone who falls sick is given a share as is any horse that falls sick.
30.4c The share of the horse –A horse gets two shares
30.4d The share of the rider – and a rider gets one share
30.4e Slaves, women and children – Slaves do not get a share nor do women nor do children, unless the children are really able to fight, have been given permission by the Imam, and do actually participate in the fighting in which they are given a share.
30.4f Servants – A hired servant is not given a share unless he actually fights.

We may not all agree... but we can agree to disagree, at least.
