Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35334 — Those whom it is forbidden to kill
٣٥٣٣٤ - حدثنا جرير بن عبد الحميد عن ليث عن مجاهد قال: لا يقتل في الحرب الصبي ولا (المرأة) (١) ولا الشيخ الفاني، ولا يحرق الطعام ولا النخل ولا تخرب البيوت، ولا يقطع الشجر المثمر.
Layth (may Allah have mercy on him) reports that Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: In war, children, women and the very old are not to be killed. Food is not to be burned, nor palm trees; houses are not to be laid waste; and fruit-bearing trees are not to be cut down.
