Did Ibn Qayyim deny jihad al-talab? Asking because I have been referred to the following source > Ibn Qayyim on Jihad: The Prophet never fought peaceful people > > Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “The Prophet never > forced the religion upon anyone, but rather he only fought those who > waged war against him and fought him first. As for those who made > peace with him or conducted a truce, then he never fought them and he > never compelled them to enter his religion, as his Lord the Almighty > had commanded him: There is no compulsion in religion, for right > guidance is distinct from error (2:256). The negation in the verse > carries the meaning of prohibition, namely, you may not force your > religion upon anyone.” > > Source: Hidāyat al-Ḥayārá 1/237 > > And Ibn al-Qayyim said, “Fighting is only necessary to confront war > and not to confront unbelief. For this reason, women and children are > not killed, neither are the elderly, the blind, or monks who do not > participate in fighting. Rather, we only fight those who wage war > against us. This was the way of the Messenger of Allah, peace and > blessings be upon him, with the people of the earth. He would fight > those who declared war on him until they accepted his religion, or > they proposed a peace treaty, or they came under his control by paying > tribute.” > > Source: Aḥkām Ahl al-Dhimmah 1/110 > > قال ابن القيم رحمه الله وَلَمْ يُكْرِهْ أَحَدًا قَطُّ عَلَى الدِّينِ > وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ يُقَاتِلُ مَنْ يُحَارِبُهُ وَيُقَاتِلُهُ وَأَمَّا > مَنْ سَالَمَهُ وَهَادَنَهُ فَلَمْ يُقَاتِلْهُ وَلَمْ يُكْرِهْهُ عَلَى > الدُّخُولِ فِي دِينِهِ امْتِثَالًا لِأَمْرِ رَبِّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ > وَتَعَالَى حَيْثُ يَقُولُ لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ قَدْ تَبَيَّنَ > الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ وَهَذَا نَفْيٌ فِي مَعْنَى النَّهْيِ أَيْ لَا > تُكْرِهُوا أَحَدًا عَلَى الدِّينِ > > 1/237 هداية الحيارى في أجوبة اليهود والنصارى > > وقال ابن القيم رحمه الله وَلِأَنَّ الْقَتْلَ إِنَّمَا وَجَبَ فِي > مُقَابَلَةِ الْحِرَابِ لَا فِي مُقَابَلَةِ الْكُفْرِ وَلِذَلِكَ لَا > يُقْتَلُ النِّسَاءُ وَلَا الصِّبْيَانُ وَلَا الزَّمْنَى وَالْعُمْيَانُ > وَلَا الرُّهْبَانُ الَّذِينَ لَا يُقَاتِلُونَ بَلْ نُقَاتِلُ مَنْ > حَارَبَنَا وَهَذِهِ كَانَتْ سِيرَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ > عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ كَانَ يُقَاتِلُ مَنْ حَارَبَهُ > إِلَى أَنْ يَدْخُلَ فِي دِينِهِ أَوْ يُهَادِنَهُ أَوْ يَدْخُلَ تَحْتَ > قَهْرِهِ بِالْجِزْيَةِ > > 1/110 كتاب أحكام أهل الذمة
