The ruling on one who plants a bomb on his body to kill the Jews

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And this one asks: What is the ruling on one who plants a bomb in himself to kill a group of Jews thereby?

Answer:
The one who sees that we have mentioned this more than once is that this is not appropriate; because he killed himself, and Allah says:
And do not kill yourselves [or one another]وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ
[An-Nisa 4:29]
and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever kills himself with something, he will be tortured with it on the Day of Resurrectionمن قتل نفسه بشيء أعذر به يوم القيامة
He strives to guide them, and if jihad is legislated, he fights alongside the Muslims; if he is killed, he praises Allah. As for him killing himself by putting a bomb in himself until he is killed along with it, that does not benefit, or stabbing himself along with them, that does not benefit. Rather, he fights where jihad is legislated alongside the Muslims. As for the action of the Palestinian in this, it is a mistake and not appropriate. The obligatory duty upon them is calling to Allah, teaching, guiding, and advising, without this action.
