English translation

2614. It was reported from Khālid bin Al-Fizr (who said): “Anas bin Mālik narrated to me that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Proceed in Allāh's Name, relying upon Allāh, and upon the religion of the Messenger of Allāh. Do not kill a frail old man, nor an infant, nor a young child, nor a woman. Do not steal from the spoils of war, but gather your spoils, and set right and do well, for Allāh loves those who do well.' (Da'if)

Arabic text

2614 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنْ حَسَنِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْفِزْرِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «انْطَلِقُوا بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ وَبِاللَّهِ وَعَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ، وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا شَيْخًا فَانِيًا وَلَا طِفْلًا وَلَا صَغِيرًا وَلَا امْرَأَةً، وَلَا تَغُلُّوا، وَضُمُّوا غَنَائِمَكُمْ، وَأَصْلِحُوا وَأَحْسِنُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ»

Commentary

As a rule it is not allowed to kill people who are old and decrepit. Exempt, however, from this rule are those old men that are found involved in devising war plans and programs and those women that are found engaged in spying activities.
