The Verdict of Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Sālih Al-‘Uthaymīn The Shaykh, may Allāh be merciful towards him, said in a tape recording regarding this topic167: “And the second (matter) is the forbiddance of killing women and children in times of war. But if it is said: ‘If they (the kuffār) do this to us- meaning that they kill our children and women- Then do we then kill them?’ The apparent [Thāhir] is that it is (permissible) for us to kill their women and children- even if it means that we lose profit/benefit from it [since keeping them alive is a profit/benefit because they become the property of the Muslims]; (and killing them in this situation is permissible) due to it threatening the hearts of the enemies and a humiliation for them. And due to the generality of the Statement of Allāh: ْمُكْيَلَع ىَدَتْعا اَم ِلْثِمِب ِهْيَلَع ْاوُدَتْعاَف ْمُكْيَلَع ىَدَتْعا ِنَمَف “Then whoever transgresses the prohibition against you, you transgress likewise against him” 168 And to (purposely) destroy property (which could later belong) for the Muslims (by killing them in this case) is nothing strange. 167 Refer to the side “B” from the third cassette of Kitāb al-Jihād from Sharh Bulūgh al-Marām. Or download it from the Shaykh’s own website: binothaimeen/sound/snd/a0020/A0020-3B.rm . Brothers and sisters are requested to download this before it is taken down by the Enemies of Allāh.
