So yeah. Say you're walking down the street and BAM a thug comes out and starts swinging. It is obviously instinct to protect yourself BUT i read a hadith somewhere which says do not hit the head. But it wouldnt be a very effective fight if you couldnt hit them in the head. Actually if you hit them in the head and knock them unconscious or disorientate them the fight could finish very quickly. So...whats the opinion?

WOOOOOOOOOO  8)

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Beware of going to extremes (in religion), for those before you were only destroyed through excessiveness.” [An-Nasai]

Allah Most High says in the Quran, “Say: O people of the Book, do not be excessive in your religion.’” [4:171]


There's really no excuse to be a radical. If it was just a hadith that warned against extremism ok thats bad but there is even a verse in the quran warning against it.

So yeah title says it all i guess. And also why is Imam Abu Hanifa seen as a bad person?

Ah thanks overture.

Thank you two for your replies. So will Waraqa be punished in the fire or was he a pure christian?

Thanks guys for your replies Still interested in more opinions!

What are the stance of you guys on suicide bombers? Alot of imams and great scholars say its haram even in wartime. They say there is a difference between becoming a martyr and you killing yourself on purpose. I think the 600 page fatwa on terrorism also says this. I personally agree with the opinions of these scholars and imams but id like to know other people's opinions.
Thanks.
