Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Feeding the prisoner is the obligatory duty of the person who captured him, even if he intends to execute him the next day; he must be fed, given water, sheltered, and treated well, whether he is a believer or not.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إطعامُ الأسيرِ حقٌّ على مَن أسَرَهُ وإن كان يُرادُ مِن الغدِ قَتْلُهُ ، فإنّه يَنبغي أن يُطعَمَ ويُسْقى ويُظَلّ ويُرفَقَ بهِ ، كافرا كان أو غَيْرَهُ.
