As far as i know of the issue... the scholars differ alot on this issue... there are those who say it is halaal and those who says that it is totally haraam...
It is also very noteworthy that of all the opinions that i have heard those who say that these <i>martyrdom missions</i> are halaal also say that it is only allowed in this situation... as far as i know the ruling by those who have studied only apply to this specific situation because of their position...
I am no scholar, and i cannot issue an opinion on this... however i must admit that for those who say that it is halaal i have not seen their daleel... if anyone can produce it then alhamdulillah...
there is a principle in fiqh that says.... "necessity makes hated deeds lawful" In other words we are allowed to do haraam acts if it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY... e.g. eating swine to save our lives...
In all applications of this principle of fiqh i have only seen the word "necessity" meaning "to save one's life" ... i have never heard it being used to justify suicide bombings....
my dad and i argue on this alot but i have not seen the proof for is sooo i cannot agree with it... all that i can do is make du'a for my brothers and sisters and hope that allah guides them and grants them victory in this jihaad....
