Commentary
If you say: What is the meaning of the letter 'fa'? I say: It indicates causation, and the cause is omitted. Its meaning is: I have permitted for you the spoils, so eat from what you have gained. And 'halalan' is in the accusative case as an adjective for the spoils, or as a description of the source, meaning eating that is lawful. And His saying, 'Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful' means that if you fear Him after what you have neglected of permitting the ransom before you were allowed in it, He will forgive you, have mercy on you, and accept your repentance.
