Professor Ibrahim Maqari,
the Deputy Chief Imam of the National Mosque, Abuja, has said those killed by
bandits and kidnappers will directly be going to “paradise.”
Maqari disclosed this while
stressing that Islam forbids Muslims to pay money as ransom to enemies they are
at war with.
The Deputy Chief Imam spoke
during Ramadan’s tafsir in Abuja.
Maqari said kidnappers should not
be paid a ransom in order to starve them of the funds they could use to boost
their activities.
He said: “Since Allah (SWT) has
forbidden the payment of money to an enemy who is at war with you, in order not
to empower them to continue to fight you, then contributing money as ransom for
the release of kidnapped persons, is haram (prohibited).
“But he (the criminal) has been
made aware that the money is never going to be paid and the one who is killed
(the victim) is going to paradise.
“But as long as people will
continue to give a ransom to secure the release of their loved ones, the
recipients of the money will continue to use.”
