And Allaah’s Messenger, Sallallaahu 3alayhi wa Sallam, prohibited us from killing women in war, and it is a prohibition connected with a clear and apparent reason, that they are not fighters. For Allaah’s Messenger, Sallallaahu 3alayhi wa Sallam, passed by women who were killed in some of his battles, and he said (She did not fight). Then he, Sallallaahu 3alayhi wa Sallam, prohibited killing their women.
But Now, their women are soldiers, fighting with their males side by side, and those who are not soldiers are she-males (acting like men), they fire at the Muslims without any restraint nor determent. So killing them is Halaal, neigh Waajib, for defending the Religion, lives, and country, except in the case of a weakling woman, not capable of anything.
The same also applies to their pre-pubescent young. And regarding the weak and sick elderly, whoever fights or aggresses amongst them is killed. And whoever does not, then none should harm them, except that they and the women may be taken as captives. And we will mention the rulings on captives, In Shaa’ Allaah.
And we said “It is Waajib upon each Muslim, anywhere in the world, to wage war against them and to kill them, wherever they are, whether they are civilians or military.” We said this meaning every letter of that sentence’s implications. So wherever the Muslim is, and whatever ethnicity or nationality he may have, then it is obligatory upon him just as it is obligatory upon us in Egypt and Sudan. Even the British Muslims in their lands [britain], if they are really Muslims, it is obligatory upon them just as it is obligatory upon other Muslims, as much as they are capable of doing. And if they are incapable, then Hijrah becomes obligatory upon them away from the enemies’ lands, or any land where they are not capable of waging war against the enemy as Allaah Has Commanded them.
For Islaam is one nationality, if we use modern terms, and it shuts off the ethnic and national differences amongst its followers, as Allaah Ta3aalaa Says {And this Ummah of yours is one Ummah} (al-Mu’minoon v. 52)
