Answered by Shaykh Gibril F Haddad
I have a question regarding the war in Iraq. I heard that the Iraqis beheaded an American civilian , What does the Sharia say about these certain acts?
Wa `alaykum as-Salam:
The Shari`a has the most humane rules of war imaginable regarding non-fighting personnel and strenuously prohibits any act of violence against their persons.
