The questioner:
The one who blows himself up in the present time, if he dies, is he a martyr or what?
The Shaykh:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said He does not know that he is harming himself, he is killing himself, because Allah (Mighty and Majestic) forbade this, [An-Nisa 4:29], and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said ,
The questioner:
He can defend himself except by this method.
The Shaykh:
He does not enter into the count with this. He fights just as a Muslim fights without killing himself. He fights them, he supplicates, and he fights. If they kill him, there is no harm. I am barefoot. He does not threaten himself. Yes. Hmm.
