	====Killing non-Muslim women and children is permissible as collateral damage====		====Killing non-Muslim women and children is permissible as collateral damage====

			Muhammad disapproved of the killing of women and children during expeditions (also {{Muslim\|19\|4319}}).

			{{Quote\|{{Bukhari\|4\|52\|257}}\|During some of the Ghazawat of the Prophet (ﷺ) a woman was found killed. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) disapproved the killing of women and children.}}

			Although when asked, he excused the probable exposure of women and children to danger during an attack.

	{{Quote\|{{Bukhari\|4\|52\|256}}\|Narrated As-Sab bin Jaththama: The Prophet passed by me at a place called Al-Abwa or Waddan, and was asked whether it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. '''The Prophet replied, "They (i.e. women and children) are from them (i.e. pagans)."''' I also heard the Prophet saying, "The institution of Hima is invalid except for Allah and His Apostle."}}		{{Quote\|{{Bukhari\|4\|52\|256}}\|Narrated As-Sab bin Jaththama: The Prophet passed by me at a place called Al-Abwa or Waddan, and was asked whether it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger.

			A more specific hadith quotes the same narrator stating that this involved women and children who were trampled over with horses during the attack:
			{{Quote\|{{Al Tirmidhi\|\|3\|19\|1570}}\|Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

			"I was informed by As-Sa'b bin Jaththamah who said: " I said: "O Messenger of Allah our horses trampled over women and children of the idolaters." He said: "They are from their fathers.'"

			[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. }}

	The unbelievers, their sins, and their fate in the afterlife is one of the Qur'an's most strikingly prominent themes. On almost every page, the reader of the Qur'an is confronted with the "doom" (بئس المصير) and "painful torment" (عذاب أليم) that awaits the unbelievers in the afterlife, in their eternal abode, "the fire" (النار). In this life the duty of the believer is [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Jihad\|Jihad]] against the unbelievers until they pay the [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Jizyah\|protection tax]] and "feel themselves subdued" (Qur'an 9:29). The Qur'an warns the believers not to take ~~the~~ unbelievers as ~~friends or protectors~~, and prohibits the marriage of believers to unbelievers (though this verse is traditionally considered partially abrogated by another permitting believing men to marry Christian and Jewish women). The [[hadith]] and the [[sira]] underline this hostility by portraying the prophet as constantly warring against the unbelief of the pagan Meccans and their Jewish allies. The [[sunnah]] contains many instances of the prophet and his companions killing and torturing unbelievers, and this is exalted as the good and righteous policy of a believing Muslim state. According to the sunnah, the best the unbelievers can hope for under a Muslim government is the second-class citizenship of [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Dhimmitude\|dhimmitude]].

	When the children of a woman (in pre-Islamic days) did not survive, '''she took a vow on herself that if her child survives, she would convert it a Jew'''. When Banu an-Nadir were expelled (from Arabia), there were some children of the Ansar (Helpers) among them. They said: We shall not leave our children.

	{{Quote\|Tafsir of Ibn Kathir, Al-Firdous Ltd., London, 1999: First Edition, Part 3, pp. 37-38\|Allah says: "There is no compulsion in religion", meaning: do not force anyone to embrace Islam, because it is clear and its proofs and evidences are manifest. Whoever Allah guides and opens his heart to Islam has indeed embraced it with clear evidence. Whoever Allah misguides blinds his heart and has set a seal on his hearing and a covering on his eyes cannot embrace Islam by force...hence Allah revealed this verse. '''But, this verse is abrogated by the verse of "fighting...Therefore, all people of the world should be called to Islam. If anyone of them refuses to do so, or refuses to pay the Jizya they should be fought till they are killed. This is the meaning of compulsion.'''
