The Ruling on Killing Women Who Fight with the Army or Provide Medical Aid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if women are found in the army fighting with it, or providing medical aid to the wounded, or doing something else, is it permissible to kill them?
Answer:
Yes. They say that the one who has an opinion in the war and a policy in the war is killed, whether he is a woman, an old man, or a worshipper among the worshippers of the Christians. If he has an opinion, planning, and war policy, he is killed. This is because the Companions killed Duraib ibn al-Samah, the leader of Hawazin. He was a very old man and did not fight on the Day of Hunayn because he was very old and decrepit. However, he was being carried on a camel, but he was cunning and scheming in war policy. So if that is the case, he is killed. Yes.
The presenter:
Hmm.
