Islam Forbids Kidnapping, Killing Civilians: Qaradawi

[Smurf]

I am unaware of his 'aqeedah but I agree with everything in this particular article, and Allah knows best.

By Essam Talima, IOL correspondent

DOHA, September 10 (IslamOnline.net) – Prominent Muslim scholar Yusuf Al-Qaradawi has vehemently opposed kidnapping and killing innocent civilians, urging the release of four Italian and French individuals recently abducted in Iraq.

Qaradawi – known for moderate views and is a familiar face in many world Islamic events – stressed that civilians hailing even from the United States should not be combated in the war-scarred country.

Islam deals strictly with such a matter of bloodshed. It forbids the killing of innocent people who have nothing to do with wars," he told a press conference in the Qatari capital, Doha, on Thursday, September 9.

What if you 'kidnap'/capture someone as war booty? I'm pretty sure that is allowed isn't it?

Re: Islam Forbids Kidnapping, Killing Civilians: Qaradawi

Maybe he’s actually just seeing something wrong, and wanting to do his muslim duty of opposing wrongs done, even if they are being done by muslims?

Something some of us need to improve on…

Although I haven't read the entire fatwa in its entirety, I don't find anything wrong with a reminder. I'm sure it could many nonetheless.

What do you mean by civilians have nothing to do with a war? Why can't I keep a civilian as a londi if I capture her in a war?
