Islamic Ruling On Blowing Oneself Up by iamgenius(m): 7:16am On Oct 27, 2017
Blowing oneself up is suicide, which is haraam (forbidden) because Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “And do not kill yourselves” [an-Nisa’ 4:29]. And the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “ … “Whoever kills himself with a piece of iron will have that iron in his hand, thrusting it into his belly in the Fire of Hell for ever and ever.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5442; Muslim, 109.

This cannot be compared to the child in the story of al-Ukhdood (the ditch), because he did not kill himself; rather he was killed by the disbelieving king. And it cannot be compared to the story of al-Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) being thrown over the wall (to open the gates of the fort), or the hadeeth about charging into the midst of the enemy, for the same reason. In those cases there was the possibility of surviving, unlike when a person blows himself up. Moreover, such operations sometimes result in the death of a person for no benefit or very little benefit, or they cause the death of innocent people, or they lead to far greater revenge from the enemy.

This is what has been stated in fatwas by a number of senior contemporary scholars. The great scholar Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: What is the ruling on one who blows himself up in order to kill a number of Jews thereby?

He replied:

What I think, and I have pointed out on more than one occasion, is that this is not acceptable, because it is killing oneself, and Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And do not kill yourselves” [an-Nisa’ 4:29]. And the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever kills himself with something will be punished with it on the Day of Resurrection.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5700; Muslim, 110. When there is a legitimate jihad, then he may strive in jihad with the Muslims, and if he is killed, then praise be to Allah. But to kill himself by attaching explosives to himself, so that he is killed with them, this is wrong and is not permissible.

The faqeeh Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked about the ruling on suicide missions.

He replied:

We think that the suicide missions in which a person is certain that he is going to die are haraam; in fact they come under the heading of major sins, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever kills himself with something in this world will be punished with it on the Day of Resurrection.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5700; Muslim, 110. He did not make any exceptions; rather this is general in application. Moreover the purpose behind jihad for the sake of Allah is to protect Islam and the Muslims, but this suicide bomber is destroying himself and by committing suicide is causing the loss of a member of the Muslim community. Moreover, it involves causing harm to others, because the enemy will not kill only one person (in retaliation); rather because of him they will kill as many as possible. Furthermore, this will result in pressure on the Muslims because of this suicide bomber who may kill only ten or twenty or thirty others. So it results in a great deal of harm to the Muslims, as is happening now in the case of the Palestinians with the Jews.

The view of those who say that this is permissible has no basis; rather that is based on a wrong perspective, because the negative consequences are many, many times worse than whatever can be achieved by that. They have no proof in the story of al-Bara’ ibn Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him) in the campaign of al-Yamaamah, when he instructed his companions to throw him over the wall so that he could open the gate for them. The actions of al-Bara’ were not bound to lead to certain death, hence he survived and opened the gate, and the people entered the fort. So there is no proof in this story.

End quote from Majmoo‘ Fataawa wa Rasaa’il al-‘Uthaymeen, 25/358

In fact he (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his fatwa for Majallat ad-Da‘wah (1418 AH), when he was asked about this issue: My opinion concerning that is that he is killing himself and that he will be punished in Hell for having killed himself, as is mentioned in a saheeh report from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)…

And Allah knows best.

Anyone who disbelieved in or Jokes with the words of Allah and His Prophet as written above i.e.

“And do not kill yourselves” [an-Nisa’ 4:29]. And the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “ … “Whoever kills himself with a piece of iron will have that iron in his hand, thrusting it into his belly in the Fire of Hell for ever and ever.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5442; Muslim, 109.


is treading on Kufr. Islam is against suicide as shown. We can't blame the tree for the defect of a few fruits on it.

If our Aqeedah is defective,what can we build on it that will stand? Boko Haram and other came about as a result of a defective aqeedah.

It's high time we corrected our Aqeedah!

Ignorance is indeed a disease. Pls be careful of your utterances, my deen is that of peace, it forbids all acts of evil and promotes all kinds of righteousness even such that you're encouraged to pick away thorns from the floor so it doesn't harm anyone. We're told not to kill even insects so far they impose no harm on us. Allah guides whomever he wills sha

Egein:
Quite obviously, the cause of Islamic fanaticism, zealotry and suicide terrorism is rooted in the Holy Qur’an (9:111; 3:169; 4:74; 4:95). Terrorists like Shekau, Osama, the lads ISIS and others are the victims of Quranic scriptural immoral teachings. They believe Quran by their hearts and try to follow the Quran in Toto! But the general born Muslims do not follow Quran at all, and that is why they believe in their own peaceful illusionary vision of Islam, which never existed in the history of Islam.

Shekau and Osama are true Muslims who follow the Quran and hadiths in ‘Toto’ and these heros of Muslim interprets Quranic verses and hadiths as per the needs of Islamic Umma, and of course, as per the real spirit of medieval Islam.

Essentially, yes, the Qur'an supports suicide bombings and utter violence.

You are a big illiterate. All the verses of the Holy Qur'an that are supposedly violent have been clarified on Nairaland. Its only a fool that would say that the "islamist terrorists" who are less than two hundred thousand in population know more than the 1.6 billion Muslims in the world. But if you insist, then Hitler who was a catholic practices true christianity since it also encouragee violence against non-believers
