Is it permissible to use incendiary weapons in war?

Question : May Allah reward you with good. Our Shaykh, the third question says the questioner. Dr. Jim. I said, praise be to Allah. Okay, because you raised your hand in a question. Let the brother finish. Complete the sixth question, okay. Please. My Shaykh, a question is being asked about a hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the prohibition of torturing with fire. Yes. And they say, in the form of a question, so that I translate the word: What about today's bombs, such as nuclear, cluster, and napalm, and the like? And is it permissible for Muslims to use them in their wars against the disbelievers?

Answer : Mm. Did you record this question? Okay, the answer: Islam, as mentioned in the hadith, does not torture. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: But for every rule, as the jurists say, there are exceptions. So the default is that it is not permissible for the Muslim ruler to use fire to torture the disbelievers, the enemies of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He), except in a case that is either a retaliation in kind or a retaliation that is more severe than retaliation in kind. So initially, it is not permissible for the Muslim army or the commander of the Muslim army who adheres to the Shari'ah of Allah—not in one aspect, but in all aspects of the Shari'ah, whether it agrees with his military plan or contradicts it—for this Muslim commander to use incendiary weapons except in retaliation in kind. If the disbeliever initiates against the Muslim army with a fire weapon, it is permissible for the Muslim army to retaliate in kind, but not to initiate. Yes.

The presenter : There is no need. May Allah reward you
