Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ طَاوُسٍ أَنَّ عُمَرَ اسْتَشَارَ النَّاسَ فِي الْجَنِينِ فَقَالَ
English Translation
Discussion of the conditions and ethics of warfare in Islam. The Prophet (peace be upon him) prohibited the killing of women, children, the elderly, and monks. He commanded mercy toward captives and prohibited mutilation of corpses. The rules of engagement are designed to minimize harm to non-combatants.
