96 - Harming One's Self for the Benefit of the Muslim Ummah - Sheikh Ibn 'Uthaymīn أن الإنسان يجوز أن يغرر بنفسه في مصلحة عامة للمسلمين، It is permissible for a person to harm himself for the general benefit of the Muslims. فإن هذا الغلام دل الملك على أمر يقتله به ويهلك به نفسه، Surely, this boy directed the king to do something that will cause his own death and destruction, وهو ان يأخذ سهماً من كنانته ويضعه في كبد القوس ويقول: باسم الله رب الغلام Which is that he (the king) takes an arrow from his quiver, places it in the bowstring, and says, "In the name of Allāh, the Rabb of the boy." قال شيخ الإسلام: ((لأن هذا جهاد في سبيل الله، آمنت أمة وهو لم يفتقد شيئا، لأنه مات وسيموت إن آجلاً أو عاجلاً)) . Shaykhul Islām (Ibn Taymiyyah) said, "Because this is Jihād in the way of Allāh, a whole ummah (nation) became believers while he didn't lose anything, because he died, and he will die anyway, sooner or later."
