The Layha For The Mujahideen: An Analysis Of The Code Of Conduct For The Taliban Fighters Under Islamic Law, Muhammad Munir Dr.
Dr. Muhammad Munir
The following article focuses on the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Rules for the Mujahideen to determine their conformity with the Islamic jus in bello. This code of conduct, or Layha, for Taliban fighters highlights limiting suicide attacks, avoiding civilian casualties, and winning the battle for the hearts and minds of the local civilian population.
