If an organization like Hamas in Palestine, for example, orders one of its members to carry out a martyrdom operation against the Jews, is this analogous to the order of a military commander to one of the soldiers?

The questioner : I mean, if we imagine that an organization like Hamas calls to Islam and strives in the path of Allah...

The Shaykh : The answer has already been given, Professor.

The questioner : If there are military leaders who have instructed some individuals to attack a group of Jews?

The Shaykh : May Allah guide us and you. The movement currently in the West Bank is not an Islamic movement, whether you like it or not. If they had wanted to go out, they would have prepared for it. Where is the preparation? The entire Islamic world is just watching, and these people are being killed and slaughtered like sheep and goats. Then we want to issue rulings as if they were coming from the Caliph of the Muslims and the military commander whom this Caliph ordered, and we give rulings on groups like this Hamas group regarding their martyrdom operations. This is not appropriate, may Allah reward you. We see that these young men should preserve their blood for the Hour, not now.
