Question:

What is the ruling regarding acts of jihaad by means of suicide, such as attaching explosives to a car and storming the enemy, whereby he knows without a doubt that he shall die as a result of this action?

Answer:

Indeed, my opinion is that he is regarded as one who has killed himself (committed suicide), and as a result he shall be punished in Hell, for that which is authenticated on the authority of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam).]]> Current Affairs Wed, 27 Feb 2019 09:17:22 +0000 http://kaligayahan.org/index.php/fatawas/173-current-affairs/1201-suicide-in-islaam http://kaligayahan.org/index.php/fatawas/173-current-affairs/1201-suicide-in-islaam SUICIDE IN ISLAAM

Question:

What is the ruling regarding suicide in Islaam?

Answer:

Suicide is when a person kills himself intentionally by whatever means. This is haraam and regarded as amongst the major sins, and likewise included in the general statement of Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala):
{And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein, and the Wrath and the Curse of Allaah are upon him, and a great punishment is prepared for him}, [Soorah an-Nisaa, Aayah 93].]]> Current Affairs Wed, 27 Feb 2019 09:07:08 +0000 http://kaligayahan.org/index.php/fatawas/173-current-affairs/1200-the-verdict-of-the-scholars-on-a-land-which-implements-islaam http://kaligayahan.org/index.php/fatawas/173-current-affairs/1200-the-verdict-of-the-scholars-on-a-land-which-implements-islaam THE VERDICT OF THE SCHOLARS ON A LAND WHICH IMPLEMENTS ISLAAM

We have investigated/examined the world today. So we have not come to find a State (country) which implements Islaam, as well as holding on firmly to it, and calling to it except this land. Meaning Saudi Arabia.

With the concluding of the Abbasid State until a time not long ago, the Islamic states have remained upon the ‘Aqeedah of the Ash’arees and the Mu’tazilah, and due to this we believe that this Saudi state is the first to disseminate the ‘Aqeedah as-Salafiyyah just as the ‘Aqeedah of our righteous Salaf truly was following a period of interruption and remoteness from it, after its having only remained but with a mere group from amongst the masses.

Indeed Ash Shaam has in it many of the innovated sects just like Egypt does. I searched for the Mu’tazilah in Egypt but I did not find anyone from amongst them.
Indeed before its heresy ‘Iraaq had in it the Ash’ariyyah and Maatureediyyah. Yemen has in it the Ash’ariyyah and the Mu’tazilah, and the Zaidiyyah of Yemen are all Mu’tazilah and the Shaafi’iyyah of Yemen are Ash’aree.
Indeed I made a geography (map) of beliefs in the Islamic world; and I placed Saudi Arabia in the middle. For indeed the kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a Salafi State.

Indeed this time that we and you are in is a time from which Allaah’s refuge is to be sought from. For indeed the fitan (trials) within it are not like the fitan of previous times – such as the fitnah of the issue of the Qur’aan being created and issues of ta’weel (misinterpreting the meanings)  and tahreef (distorting/changing the meanings)  and ta’teel (denying the correct meanings) and other than that from innovations.

Rather in your time the fitan have indeed begun departing the people from the fold of Al-Islaam – with complete departure.  So it has then left them oscillating between that; neither towards Al-Islaam and neither to other than it – and Allaah’s aid is sought. The world in which we live in, it is impermissible that you live in it whilst you do not understand it.
