What is the ruling on the crime of genocide—defined in the 1949 international convention as any act committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, and including killing its members, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, deliberately inflicting on them conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction in whole or in part, imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group, or forcibly transferring children of the group to another group—in Islamic jurisprudence and Sharia?

All the aforementioned aggressions are forbidden in Islamic Sharia (definition), regardless of whether they are intended for genocide or not. These include: murder, aggression against bodies, honors, and properties, devising plans to weaken and humiliate peoples, obstructing reproduction with the aim of reducing populations, separating children from their parents, and forcibly displacing people from their homelands against their will. Islamic Sharia forbids aggression in all its types and forms, as evidenced by the words of Allah Almighty: "And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right," and His words: "And do not seek corruption in the earth. Indeed, Allah does not like corrupters." And the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Indeed, your blood, your properties, and your honors are sacred among you," and his saying: "There shall be no harm nor reciprocating harm," and his saying: "Whoever separates a mother from her child, Allah will separate him from his loved ones on the Day of Resurrection."
