The ruling on killing the women and children of disbelievers in war

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the disbelievers kill the women and children of Muslims during war, is it permissible to kill their women and children as a war measure?

Answer:
No, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade killing infants, killing women, killing monks, and killing those who do not fight. It is not permissible.
