Hadith on Bloodshed: Unlawfulness of taking women and children into battle and killing them

Sa’b ibn Jathamah reported: He asked the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, about the settlements of the idolaters in which their children and women are harmed. The Prophet said, “They are among them.”

Az-Zuhri said, “Thereafter, the Messenger of Allah prohibited the killing of women and children.”

[Sunan Abu Dawud, Book of Jihad, Number 2672, Sahih]

عَنْ الصَّعْبِ ابْنِ جَثَّامَةَ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الدَّارِ مِنْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يُبَيَّتُونَ فَيُصَابُ مِنْ ذَرَارِيِّهِمْ وَنِسَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هُمْ مِنْهُمْ

قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ ثُمَّ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ قَتْلِ النِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ
