Must the owner accept an offer from the usurper to cover the costs of returning the item or an amount exceeding its value?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Usurpation
Primary text
The owner is not obligated to accept an offer from the usurper to pay the cost of returning the item or an offer of more than its value without the intent to reclaim it, because such an offer constitutes a contractual exchange (mu'awadah) upon which one cannot be compelled, similar to a sale.
