This article presents a translation and analysis of a  fatwa  belonging to one of the most important and extensive compilations of legal opinions in Mālikī Islamic law, gathered together in the fifteenth century by al-Wansharīsī. We explore the  fatwa s in this compilation on the subject of captives, and focus in particular on one whose main point of interest is its exhaustive analysis of the possible fates that might await Christian prisoners who fell into Muslim hands, specifically those classified as “weak” – that is, women, children, the elderly and even religious figures.
