Money commission- The amir

NB: This is an important document that should be compared with the Money Commission’s letter from July 2016 establishing salary schemes and grants. It would appear that by the time of the beginning of Hijra year 1438 AH (October 2016 CE), a decision had been made to cut most expenses by 20%, including fighters’ basic salaries (reduced from $50 to $40), additions to salaries for each wife of a fighter (reduced from $50 to $40), additions to salaries for each child of a fighter (reduced from $35 to $28), and marriage grants (reduced from $800 to $640 for marrying a virgin, and from $1000 to $800 for marrying a martyr’s widow).

The document also establishes that the widely reported claim in early 2016 about a 50% reduction in all salaries, based on a purported financial department document published by the news site Aleppo 24 and archived and translated in my original archive of Islamic State documents (Specimen 12Q), cannot actually have been implemented at that time. Either that purported document is not authentic (viewed in this light, there do appear to be some oddities about the formatting and stamping of the document, though another document sourced to Aleppo 24 is authentic), or the document is real but the supposed decision just was not implemented, in contrast with this 20% reduction by late 2016/early 2017 in most expenses that is now well documented from authentic documents and records I have seen.

Diwan al-Ghana’im wa al-Fay’

Date: 5 Jumada al-Awal 1436 AH

Circular

To all the brothers in the Islamic State

Please see the Ghana’im centre in the wilaya to which the brother is affiliated currently, in the event one has not received any war spoils from any battle from the date of the distribution of the spoils until now, and please inform of any grievance regarding the war spoils in that period.

With regards to the brothers in the Diwan al-Jund, please see the military administrator.

This should be done within 15 days from the date of the circular. After this date, we in the Diwan al-Ghana’im wa al-Fay’ will have discharged our duty before God (Almighty and Exalted is He) regarding any wrong-doing or short-coming that has occurred in the matter of the war spoils.

Any brother who knows the name of a brother that has been martyred or taken prisoner and has a right to war spoils should inform us of his name and how to convey the sum to his heirs.

All brothers are requested to publicise this circular as far as possible and inform the non-Arabic speaking brothers who cannot read the statement.

May God reward you best.

Islamic State Salary Schemes and Financial Endowments in July 2016

Diwan Bayt al-Mal
Money Commission

Number: n-8kh
Date: 12 Shawwal 1437 AH
Corresponding to 17 July 2016 CE

In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

To the ennobled amir of the Central Office to Track Grievances (may God protect him)

Subject: response to queries

I ask God Almighty that my letter should reach while you are in the best state of health and wellness, and that He should make Islam and Muslims benefit through you, and that He should make you among those who serve His religion.

In response to your letter- dear shaykh- no. 96/10 on date 9 Shawwal 1437 AH regarding the contexts and policy of the Diwan Bayt al-Mal that is followed in the matters mentioned in your letter, we start by clarifying the queries as follows, seeking help in God:

1. Monthly salary [lit. ‘sponsorship’- Arabic: ‘kafala’]

. The monthly salary is as follows:

a) Salary of the brother [i.e. the Islamic State member] ($50)
b) Salary of the brother’s wife ($50)
c) Salary of the brother’s children who are not mature ($35)
d) Salary of the brother’s children who are mature (the sister)- $50

The salary of the handicapped brother (who cannot serve himself) is to be doubled with regards to himself, his children, his wife and providing support for dependents.

The salary is an acquired right established by the imam [the caliph] for every brother [i.e. for every member of the Islamic State]. The brother has the right to demand it after the time for it has passed, with the exception of the mutasayyib [the one absent without leave], as clarified in the circular of the Delegated Committee no. 7t-c-13 on date 25 Ramadan 1437 AH.

2. Sum for food expenses:

a) It is $30 a month for every brother and $60 for every brother who is wounded and receiving his treatment in the abode he goes to seek treatment. The sum is not given by hand.

b) It is not an acquired right.

c) The brother does not have the right to demand it.

d) It is allowed for the sum to be distributed by hand to the one whose work is by nature outside the base on most days of the month, and to the one who spends his recovery period in the home. The principle regarding food is that it is collective [i.e. the sum is for the whole family].

3. Marriage grant

It is $800 for [marriage to] the virgin, and $1000 for the one marrying a widow.

. Its restrictions

a) With regards to marrying the virgin, the condition imposed on the brother is that he should be a bachelor. The exceptions to this are the married brother whose wife rejected hijra with him to the abode of Islam, the one whose wife left him because of the fact that he is a mujahid, and the one whose only wife was killed.

b) With regards to marrying the widow, the condition is that she should be a martyr’s widow, and every brother who marries a martyr’s widow and then divorces her before a year has passed must return what has remained of her mahr [the payment made by the husband to the wife] in accordance with the circular of the Delegated Committee no. 63 on date 11 Sha’aban 1437 AH.

c) The marriage grant is an endowment for matters of marriage. Furnishing the home and non-necessary needs do not come under it.

Review+disclosure [in handwriting]

Admission of ownership

I am the signatory below: Abd al-Manaf, the son of Ramzi. My mother is Adawiya Muhammad Ali.

I am known as Abu Muhammad Ma’nan [?] and I was born in Madinat al-Thawra on 9 December 1976 CE. My house address is: al-Ra’i, the dwelling of al-Shaykh Nur. My phone number is [blank]. My type of work is: Grinding. I work at: the market. The phone number is: [blank].

I came to the Zakat office and paid a sum of: [blank]
Which is the zakat on my wealth estimated at: Estimated at around 265,000 Syrian pounds, with debts.

I also own: pistachio crops…olive crops…grapes…vehicles…gold…silver…sheep…number of hectares [NB: all these fields are marked with a cross, implying no ownership of these assets].

Should the contrary of what I have said be established, I placed myself under Shari’i penalty about which the Messenger of God (SAWS): “Whoso withholds the zakat, we will take it as one of the rights of God, while the person’s wealth will be cut in half.”

And God is witness to what I say.

Quoted in Hashiyat Qalyubi by Imam al-Nawawi (4/273): “Whoso says: God knows or God bears witness, and does so falsely in a deliberate sense, that person has committed kufr [disbelief].”

[In handwriting]: the year has not yet passed. He should see us on date 1 Sha’aban 1436 AH.
