Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to slaughter a fighting disbeliever or mutilate him in order to instill fear in the hearts of the disbelievers?
Answer:
No, mutilation is not permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to advise his Companions and say, "Do not mutilate." Among his advices, he said, "Do not mutilate, do not betray, do not kill a child, or..." These are great advices for the mujahideen, including "Do not mutilate," because a human being has sanctity, even if he is a disbeliever. It is not permissible to mutilate him or treat him with contempt, nor is it permissible to leave him unburied; rather, he must be buried, even if he is a disbeliever.[Al-Isra 17:70] Then He caused him to die and buried him. Yes.
