Message: <blockquote data-quote="sirajstc" data-source="post: 7014266" data-attributes="member: 91140">Let’s take a look at the hadith about this issue:     Saheeh Bukhari  Volume 004, Book 052, Hadith Number 258.  Narrated By Ibn 'Umar : During some of the Ghazawat of Allah's Apostle a woman was found killed, so Allah's Apostle forbade  the killing of women and children.      Saheeh Muslim  Book 019, Hadith Number 4320  Chapter : Prohibition of killing women and children in war  It is narrated by Ibn 'Umar that a woman was found killed in  one of these battles; so the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)  forbade the killing of women and children    In islam it is strict forbidden to kill women ,  children and/or innocents. The only way that they can be killed is as an unintentional  consequence of fighting against the enemy combatants.      Saheeh Muslim  Book  019, Hadith Number 4321.Chapter : Permissibility of killing women and children in the night  raids, provided it is not deliberate.It is reported on the authority of Sa'b b. Jaththama that the Prophet of Allah (may peace be upon him), when asked about the  women and children of the polytheists being killed during the night raid, said: They are  from them.    Saheeh Bukhari  Volumn  004, Book 052, Hadith Number 256.Narated By As-Sab bin Jaththama : The Prophet passed by me at a place called Al-Abwa or Waddan, and was asked whether  it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing  their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, "They (i.e. women and children)  are from them (i.e. pagans)." I also heard the Prophet saying, "The institution  of Hima is invalid except for Allah and His Apostle."      -A fatwa about these hadith by Sheikh `Abd Allah al-Manî`î :     Question:Asalamu alaykum Shaykh, I have read the fatwa section on Jihad but I  am looking for clarification of a specific Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari which is propagating as some as a refutation to what you have mentioned:  Narrated as-Saíb bin Jaththama: The Prophet passed by me at a place called  al-Abwa or Waddan, and was asked whether it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at  night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet  replied, "They are from them." Could you please clarify the context of this Hadith and  whether it contradicts the general ruling of prohibition of targeting civilians  which you mentioned elsewhere? JazakAllah khair.Answered by Sheikh `Abd Allah al-Manî`îAl-Salâm `Alaykum wa Rahmah Allah wa Barakâtuh.Those who are not generally engaged in fighting – like women, children, the elderly, the handicapped, and others who do  not participate in the fighting – are not to be killed. The Prophet (peace  be upon him) prohibited this. His prohibition of the killing of women and children is  clearly related by Ibn `Umar in Sahîh al-Bukhârî (3015) and Sahîh Muslim (1744).The only exception to this is where such people participate directly in the fighting or are so intermixed with the  fighters that it is impossible to separate them from those who are fighting. This exception  is indicated by the hadîth of al-Sa`b b. Jathâmah. The Prophet (peace be upon him) was  asked about the women and children of the polytheists who were among them and who would  be injured if the enemy was attacked. He said: “They are of them.” [Sahîh  al-Bukhârî (3021) and Sahîh Muslim (1475)]In short, non-Muslims living in Muslim lands, those who are under  covenant, and those with whom we have peace cannot be attacked. As for those who are at war with  us, the combatants may be fought and killed. Those who are not combatants cannot be killed  or targeted for killing. The only way that they can be killed is as an unintentional  consequence of fighting against the enemy combatants.Indeed, the hadîth in question actually shows us that the general rule  is not to kill non-combatants, even when they are present on the battlefield. The only  exception is when the non-combatants are so mixed in with the fighters that it is  impossible to fight against the combatants without the possibility of some non-combatants  inadvertently being killed. This is only out of dire necessity.Ibn Hajar writes in his commentary on this hadîth in Fath al-Bârî  (6/146):His statement “They are of them” means that they are construed as such under those circumstances. It does  not mean that it is permissible to deliberately target them.It is a matter of agreement among scholars that a person’s unbelief is  not reason for that person to be killed. There is considerable evidence for this. Aside  from the Prophet’s prohibition of killing non-combatants, we have where Allah  says: “Let there be no compulsion in religion.” [Sûrah al-Baqarah: 256]      - Islam forbids the killing of innocent lives (women and children)      Noble  Verse 5:32     "if  any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or  for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole  people..."      In this Noble  Verse we clearly see that Allah Almighty honors all the innocent souls that He created.  Killing any innocent soul is so hated by Allah Almighty that He considers it as a  crime against all of Mankind. According to the bible however in Hosea 13:16 ,  innocent pregnant women and unborn babies have to be killed to fullfill Gods promised punishment , see: <a href="http://www.answering-christianity.com/karim/pregnant_women_ripped_open.htm" target="_blank">http://www.answering-christianity.com/karim/pregnant_women_ripped_open.htm</a>       Noble  Verses 2:190-191     "Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors.    Despite all  the hard conditions that the Muslims faced, Allah Almighty still ordered them "...not  transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors."        - The prophet prohibited the killing of women,children and innocents    Ibn `Abbas says: The Messenger of Allah, when dispatching his troops, would tell them, " ..Do not behave treacherously, nor misappropriate war-booty, nor mutilate [those whom you kill], nor kill  children, nor the people in cloisters." [Narrated by Ahmad, Tirmidhi (who graded it hasan sahih ]).     Another  contains, "…Do not kill a woman, nor a child, nor an old, aged man’ [Narrated by Baghawi, through his isnad [Sharh al-Sunnah, 11/11]. He said, "This  is an authentic hadith, narrated by Muslim.]    It is narrated by Ibn 'Umar that a woman was found killed in one of these battles; so the Messenger of Allah (may peace be  upon him) forbade the killing of women and children. [Sahih Muslim, Book 019, Number 4320]  You are neither hard-hearted nor of fierce character, nor one who shouts in the markets. You do not return evil for  evil, but excuse and forgive." [Sahih <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bukhari" target="_blank">Bukhari</a>, Volume  6, Book 60, Number 362]  Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The  Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Go in Allah's name, trusting in Allah, and  adhering to the religion of Allah's Apostle. Do not kill a decrepit old man, o a young  infant, or a child, or a woman; do not be dishonest about booty, but collect your spoils, do  right and act well, for Allah loves those who do well.  (Sunan  Abu Dawud , Book 14, Number 2608)    Another contains, "…Do not kill a woman, nor a child, nor an old, aged man…" [Narrated by Baghawi, through his isnad [Sharh al-Sunnah, 11/11]]Another contains, "Do not kill a child, nor a woman, nor an old man, nor  obliterate a stream, nor cut a tree…" [ Narrated by Bayhaqi,vide I`la al-Sunan, 12/31 ]  'Avoid the seven ruinous [sins] … associating partners with Allah, sorcery,unrightfully taking  life which Allah has prohibited, consuming riba, consuming the  property of an orphan, fleeing on the day of marching [in battle], and accusing a  chaste, oblivious believing woman of adultery (Narrated by Bukhari, Muslim, Nasa'i, Abu Dawud)    Ibn  `Umar said, "Allah curses the one who does this. Verily, the Messenger of Allah  cursed the one who takes something with a soul as a target." [Narrated by Muslim via Ibn `Umar as  quoted, and by Nasa'i via 2 routes (Ibn `Umar and Ibn `Abbas)]      Another  version says, "The Messenger of Allah forbade taking something with a soul as a target."[Narrated by Tirmidhi (who graded it hasan sahih).and Ahmad, via Ibn `Abbas. Both  of them included mention of Ibn `Abbas witnessing an incident involving a pigeon, similar  to that witnessed by Ibn `Umar as in the preceding narration.]      Allah  curses the one who takes something with a soul as a target (Narrated by Ahmad, through a sound, contiguous chain of transmitters (Hushaym-Abu Bishr-Sa`id ibn Jubayr-Ibn `Umar)<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
