Etiquette of Fighting Enemy Combatants 190. Fight in the cause of God ˹only˺ against those who wage war against you, but do not exceed the limits.63 God does not like transgressors. 191. Kill them wherever you come upon them64 and drive them out of the places from which they have driven you out. For persecution65 is far worse than killing. And do not fight them at the Sacred Mosque unless they attack you there. If they do so, then fight them—that is the reward of the disbelievers. 192. But if they cease, then surely God is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
