Question:
In the fatwa “defending the transgressed” in Islamic law women can not be targeted unless they directly fight in combat. However I read in Tafsir Qurtubi 2:190/191 a woman who supports with money can be targeted how to undertand /reconcile?
Answer:
What you cited is an extremely weak view. The Prophetic Sunna shows women on or near battlefields as nurses and other types of assistance but they are to be spared. Likewise women contributing gold for military campaigns or strategic defenses then staying home. They are never to be targeted.
