Question 2291) - He made a peace agreement for a specified time and then saw that terminating the agreement would be better for the Muslims. What is the ruling?
A: It is permissible, although he may not commence fighting until announcing the termination of the treaty. Allaah says, "If you fear treachery from a people then throw back [the treaty] that you may be on equal terms. verily Allaah does not love the treacherous." [al- Anfal:58]
