It's prohibited, like a mortal sin. And murder is haram. And to kill civilians is murder. • The taking of one's own life, not to mention the taking of the lives of innocents, is forbidden • Islam teaches that the person who takes his/her own life will be condemned to hell • War, in Islam, can only be fought in self-defense and has limits and boundaries SUCIDE BOMBING AND ISLAM
