Reconciliation with a capable enemy in order to preserve lives
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh. This questioner says: We are in a country where the enemy is in control, and we are in a state of weakness, and their power is the dominant power. So we want to make a truce with them and write it between us in order to preserve our lives.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made a truce with the Jews, and he made a truce with the disbelievers. If there is a benefit for the Muslims and it spares their blood, then there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
