What is the ruling on the suicide operations carried out by the Hamas movement, and does it represent the role of the ruler in that it saw the public benefit in doing so?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah preserve you, O Shaykh. The issue is an old one, but we would like to develop it. It concerns the suicide operations that some of the brothers perform out of zeal for their religion. We have heard from you that you permit them within the limits of the presence of a ruler. So if we assume that this group, Hamas, is an Islamic group, or if we say that it has adopted the role of the ruler and is issuing military orders, and that it has deemed this public benefit to be in the interest of the Palestinian people.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Can we then place the Hamas movement in the position of the Muslim ruler?
The Shaykh : Unfortunately, we cannot. We hope that a time will come soon when what we cannot do now we will be able to do. But at present, we cannot, because it is not a ruler. However, they are a people who are oppressed, oppressed twice: once by the enemy who occupied their land, and once by those who made a pact with the enemy against them. But in addition to this, I want to draw attention to the fact that these suicide matters, which in reality, from one perspective, mean that the breasts of believing people have been opened. I cannot say that, despite the fact that they did not come from a Muslim ruler who rules over the Muslims and applies the Sharia rulings to the Muslims, and despite all that, we say that as for those who commit suicide in the cause of taking revenge on these tyrannical oppressors, whom we hope to see meet a bad end soon, if Allah wills, yes, we cannot say anything except that they will be resurrected according to their intentions, they will be resurrected according to their intentions. This is a word that in reality has a dual effect, in that.
The student: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The student : ...
The Shaykh : You can't, meaning Akasha got there before you, hehe.
The student : ... O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : I say:, and also the more famous hadith: Sahih al-Bukhari 6689. I say, sometimes a hadith comes, and I kill two birds with one stone. A hadith came whose meaning is correct but whose chain is weak; its meaning is correct but its chain is weak. What do I mean by this? I mean that if you hear it, and I have explained to you what I know, that it is weak, do not say, as I do not say, "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said" when I mentioned earlier: Musnad Ahmad 469. The hadith says: and its meaning is correct , . Now, let us assume that the market of jihad in the cause of Allah has opened. The market of jihad in the cause of Allah has opened, and the battle of truth between falsehood and truth, between the Muslims and the polytheists, has taken place. Among these Muslims, there is one who fights the polytheists out of showing off, reputation, bravery, and heroism, and he is killed. Does this person die as a martyr? The answer is no. This is known from verses and hadiths. All these verses and hadiths point to what He, the Exalted, said: [Al-Bayyinah 98:5]. So the one who strives in the cause of Allah truly has Paradise. As for the one who strives out of showing off, reputation, and bravery, he is not in the cause of Allah; rather, he is in the cause of Satan. This type fits the meaning of . There are incidents and hadiths that confirm this meaning and suffice us from narrating this hadith, except only to point out its weakness. We say, what is authentic from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but what is much more important than it has been authenticated. It is in "Sahih al-Bukhari" from Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him): A man said: O Messenger of Allah, a man from among us fights out of bravery; is he in the cause of Allah? He said: لا No.. He said: A man from among us fights out of zeal; is he in the cause of Allah? He said: لا No.. A third man said so? He said: لا No.. He said: Then who is in the cause of Allah? He said: مَن قاتل لتكونَ كلمة الله هي العليا ؛ فهو في سبيل الله Whoever fought so that the Word of Allah is supreme, then he is in Allah's cause.Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1646.
And we have an incident that occurred in the time of the Messenger (peace be upon him) in which there is a lesson for whoever takes heed. I do not remember it now; perhaps it was in the Battle of Khaybar. A man from among the Companions of the Messenger, and the Companions of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) were all brave and heroes, but this man, meaning, stood out among them with extraordinary bravery, to the extent that the brave Companions were amazed by his bravery. فقالوا : يا رسول الله فلان كذا وكذا So they said: O Messenger of Allah, so-and-so did such and such. He (peace be upon him) gave an answer that nearly caused the faith of the Companions to waver and crumble. He said: هو في النار He is in the Fire How is it that this man fights the polytheists, attacks the polytheists, inflicts heavy killing and wounding upon them, and so on, and returns safe, and the answer of the infallible Messenger, who, as our Lord (Mighty and Majestic) said in the Qur'an: وَمَا يَنْطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَى * إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَى (3) Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination. (4) It is not but a revelation revealed,[An-Najm 53:3-4], how is it that he is in the Fire? Abu Hurayrah, who is the narrator of the hadith, said: رجعنا له ثاني مرة قلنا له كذا قال : هو في النار رجعنا إليه ثالث مرة قال : هو في النار قال : حتى كدنا أن نشك قال رجل من أصحاب الرسول : أنا صاحبه اليوم فكان كلما هجم كان هو خلفه We returned to him a second time and said to him such and such, and he said: He is in the Fire. We returned to him a third time and he said: He is in the Fire. He said: Until we almost doubted. A man from among the Companions of the Messenger said: I was his companion today, and whenever he charged, I was behind him. One has to see the outcome of the true martyrdom of the Messenger in him, where he said: هو في النار He is in the Fire And the Messenger cannot speak other than the truth. One has to see with his own eyes وإذا بالرجل من كثرة هجومه على المشركين أُصِيبَ بجراحات كثيرة وكثيرة جدًّا ، فلم يصبر عليها ؛ فما كان منه إلا أن وضع رأس السيف في بطنه واتَّكأ عليه ، وخرج من ظهره ومات And lo, the man, from the intensity of his charges against the polytheists, was struck with many, many wounds. He did not bear them; so what did he do but put the hilt of the sword in his belly and lean on it, and it came out of his back, and he died. This man died a suicide; he died killing himself. So the man who had vowed to pursue him ran to the Messenger, as if presenting to him something that the Messenger had not been previously informed of by revelation from the sky. He said: O Messenger of Allah, so-and-so killed himself. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said—and here is the lesson: الله أكبر ! صدق الله ورسوله ، إن الرجل Allahu Akbar! Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth.Musnad Ahmad 672 Here is the lesson إن الرجل ليعمل بعمل أهل الجنة فيما يبدو للناس ، وهو من أهل النار A man may do what may seem to the people as the deeds of the dwellers of Paradise, but he is of the dwellers of the Hell-FireSahih al-Bukhari 4207; so there may be in jihad in the cause of Allah one who does not fight in the cause of Allah; so he will be gathered according to his intention.
And the first hadith I mentioned before the hadith: إنما الأعمال بالنيات Actions are only by intentions I said, "They will be resurrected according to their intentions." This is a hadith in "Sahih Muslim." He (peace be upon him) said: يغزو جيش الكعبة An army will attack the Ka'bah., they will raid in the last of time, among the signs of the Hour يغزو جيش الكعبة ، فإذا كانوا في بيداء من الأرض خُسِفَ بهم An army will attack the Ka'bah, and when they are in a flat expanse of land, the earth will swallow them.. The Lady Aisha said: O Messenger of Allah, are the common people among them? They said in explaining this phrase: meaning, among them are people who were forced into this army, as is said today, meaning involuntarily, and it is not in their intention to raid the Ka'bah; because raiding the Ka'bah is disbelief and associating partners with Allah; so he (peace be upon him) answered: بأنهم يُبعثون على نيَّاتهم That they are raised according to their intentions.. I want now to return to the suicide operations that are taking place now, despite the fact that the condition is not present, as I mentioned earlier and before that repeatedly and repeatedly. I say.

They will be resurrected according to their intentions
يبعثون على نيَّاتهمThe (reward of) deeds, depend upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for the sake of Allah and His Apostle, then his emigration will be considered to be for Allah and His Apostle, and whoever emigrated for the sake of worldly gain or for a woman to marry, then his emigration will be considered to be for what he emigrated for.
إنما الأعمال بالنيات ، وإنما لكلِّ امرئٍ ما نوى ، فمن كانت هجرته إلى الله ورسوله ؛ فهجرته إلى الله ورسوله ، ومن كانت هجرته إلى دنيا يصيبها أو امرأةٍ ينكحها ؛ فهجرته إلى ما هاجر إليهWhoever says something about me that I did not say, let him take his place in Hell.
مَن قال عليَّ ما لم أقل ؛ فليتبوَّأ مقعده من النارPerhaps a slain man between the two ranks, Allah knows best his intention
ربَّ قتيلٍ بين الصَّفَّين الله أعلم بنيَّتهMany a slain man between the two ranks, of whose intention Allah is most aware.
ربَّ قتيلٍ بين الصَّفَّين الله أعلم بنيَّتهAnd they were not commanded except to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion
وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَMany a slain man between the two ranks, of whose intention Allah is most aware.
