not show it, this is because everything they believe to be lawful in their religion, which contains no harm to Muslims—such as disbelief, drinking wine and possessing it, and marrying those within forbidden degrees (maharim)—we are not permitted to interfere with them regarding it, as long as they do not show it; for we have committed ourselves to allowing them to remain upon it in our domain, so we do not interfere with them in that which we have committed to leave alone. However, whatever they show of that, it becomes incumbent to forbid it to them. If it is wine, its spilling is lawful; if they show a cross or a lute, it is lawful to break it; if they show their disbelief, they are disciplined for that; and they are prevented from showing anything that is forbidden to the Muslims.

Section: If one usurps wine from a Dhimmi, he is obligated to return it, because he is permitted to keep it for drinking. If he usurps it from a Muslim, he is not obligated to return it, and it is mandatory to spill it, because Abu Talha asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, about orphans who inherited wine, and he ordered him to spill it. If he destroys it, or it perishes while in his possession, he is not obligated to compensate for it, because Ibn Abbas narrated from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that he said: "When Allah prohibits a thing, He prohibits its price." Also, because whatever has been prohibited from being benefited from, it is not mandatory to compensate for it, like dead animals and blood. If he keeps it in his possession until it becomes vinegar, he is obligated to return it to its owner, because it has become vinegar in a state of his ownership, so it is mandatory to return it to him. If it perishes, he is liable for it, because it is wealth belonging to the one who was usurped, which perished in the possession of the usurper. If he spills it and someone collects it, and it turns into vinegar in his possession, he is not obligated to return the vinegar, because he took it after it had been destroyed and the ownership had ceased.
