Abstract

Based on their doctrines, Salafi excommunicationist groups consider followers of other religions and denominations as non-believers, justifying the shedding of their blood and seizing their property. Consequently, these groups engage in numerous criminal activities. Given the military approach employed by these groups, it becomes imperative to examine the perspective of humanitarian law, especially concerning their interactions with civilians. This article aims to gain a deeper understanding of Salafi excommunicationist groups and their treatment of women. It also seeks to analyze this emerging phenomenon within the framework of international law, legal doctrines, and the principles of Islamic law. The objective is to evaluate the treatment of women by Salafi excommunicationist groups in comparison with the provisions of international humanitarian law and Islamic humanitarian law. In this research, we employ a theoretical analytical-descriptive method and gather data from library sources to address this question. Despite the considerable support for women in international humanitarian law and Islamic humanitarian law, the findings of the research reveal that Salafi excommunicationist groups not only fail to adhere to these legal and religious principles but also perpetrate inhumane crimes against women.
