What's The Ruling On A Person Blowing Himself To Kill Kaafir Enemy? by mubrex: 3:53pm On Oct 19, 2015 |
Praise be to Allah
Blowing oneself up is suicide, which is
haraam (forbidden) because Allah, may He be
exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And do not kill yourselves” [an-Nisa’ 4:29] . And
the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) said: “ … “Whoever kills himself
with a piece of iron will have that iron in his
hand, thrusting it into his belly in the Fire of
Hell for ever and ever.” Narrated by al-
Bukhaari, 5442; Muslim, 109.
This cannot be compared to the child in the
story of al-Ukhdood (the ditch), because he
did not kill himself; rather he was killed by
the disbelieving king. And it cannot be
compared to the story of al-Bara’ (may Allah
be pleased with him) being thrown over the
wall (to open the gates of the fort), or the
hadeeth about charging into the midst of the
enemy, for the same reason. In those cases
there was the possibility of surviving, unlike
when a person blows himself up. Moreover,
such operations sometimes result in the
death of a person for no benefit or very little
benefit, or they cause the death of innocent
people, or they lead to far greater revenge
from the enemy.
This is what has been stated in fatwas by a
number of senior contemporary scholars. The
great scholar Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz
(may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
What is the ruling on one who blows himself
up in order to kill a number of Jews thereby?
He replied:
What I think, and I have pointed out on more
than one occasion, is that this is not
acceptable, because it is killing oneself, and
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And do not kill yourselves” [an-Nisa’ 4:29] . And
the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) said: “Whoever kills himself with
something will be punished with it on the Day
of Resurrection.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari,
5700; Muslim, 110. When there is a
legitimate jihad, then he may strive in jihad
with the Muslims, and if he is killed, then
praise be to Allah. But to kill himself by
attaching explosives to himself, so that he is
killed with them, this is wrong and is not
permissible.

The faqeeh Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih
al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on
him) was asked about the ruling on suicide
missions.
He replied:
We think that the suicide missions in which a
person is certain that he is going to die are
haraam; in fact they come under the heading
of major sins, because the Prophet (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) said:
“Whoever kills himself with something in this
world will be punished with it on the Day of
Resurrection.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5700;
Muslim, 110. He did not make any
exceptions; rather this is general in
application. Moreover the purpose behind
jihad for the sake of Allah is to protect Islam
and the Muslims, but this suicide bomber is
destroying himself and by committing suicide
is causing the loss of a member of the
Muslim community. Moreover, it involves
causing harm to others, because the enemy
will not kill only one person (in retaliation);
rather because of him they will kill as many
as possible. Furthermore, this will result in
pressure on the Muslims because of this
suicide bomber who may kill only ten or
twenty or thirty others. So it results in a great
deal of harm to the Muslims, as is happening
now in the case of the Palestinians with the
Jews.
The view of those who say that this is
permissible has no basis; rather that is based
on a wrong perspective, because the negative
consequences are many, many times worse
than whatever can be achieved by that. They
have no proof in the story of al-Bara’ ibn
Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him) in the
campaign of al-Yamaamah, when he
instructed his companions to throw him over
the wall so that he could open the gate for
them. The actions of al-Bara’ were not bound
to lead to certain death, hence he survived
and opened the gate, and the people entered
the fort. So there is no proof in this story.
End quote from Majmoo‘ Fataawa wa Rasaa’il
al-‘Uthaymeen , 25/358
In fact he (may Allah have mercy on him)
said in his fatwa for Majallat ad-Da‘wah (1418
AH), when he was asked about this issue: My
opinion concerning that is that he is killing
himself and that he will be punished in Hell
for having killed himself, as is mentioned in a
saheeh report from the Prophet (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him)…
And Allah knows best.
