What is the ruling on a person blowing himself up with a bomb or the like against the disbelievers to kill them in Afghanistan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Another questioner : Is it possible for me to blow myself up with the bombs in my hands before I am captured while I am in Afghanistan?

The Shaykh : No, it is not permissible.

The questioner : I mean, a soldier captures me.

The Shaykh : It is not permissible except when the Muslim state is established and the Muslim ruler orders you to do what he sees as in the interest of the Muslims. As for a Muslim soldier acting on his own opinion and blowing himself up, that is not permissible.

The questioner : I will not blow myself up; I will blow myself up and the soldier.

The Shaykh : I understand, I understand, my brother. I do not want to explain because I have understood from you. Blowing yourself up to kill a thousand disbelievers, that is not permissible.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
