When Mohammed PBUH kidnapped someone:
The kidnapping of Thumama ibn Athal was ordered by the Prophet (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) because Thumama had been a bellicose enemy leader who had wanted to kill the Prophet’s envoy, Al-Alaa’ Al-Hadramy, had it not been that Thumama’s uncle, Aamir ibn Salama, prevented him. However, the Prophet Muhammad (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) pardoned and released Thumama in exchange for nothing. The incident of the kidnapping of a man from the Banu `Uqail tribe was in response to the capture of two of the Prophet’s Companions by that tribe’s ally, Banu Thaqeef.
*It is absolutely impermissible in Islam to kidnap any human being who has nothing to do with military actions.
*If the kidnapped were enemy fighters or collaborating with the enemy, it is permissible to kidnap them as long as they be treated as prisoners of war upon whom the rules of treatment of POWs in Islam should be applied.
[Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom till the war lay down its burdens] (Muhammad 47:4).
Threatening to kill the captive in order to get one country to do a certain deed or refrain from doing another is inconsistent with the above noble Qur’anic verse. The Prophet (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) only killed a prisoner of war as a punishment for a crime which that captive had committed and for which he had been fully responsible. The human being is principally protected from killing, as the Qur’an tell us [Whosoever killeth a human being for other than man slaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind] (Al-Ma’idah 5:32).
The Prophet Said :yes: :
* “Remind yourselves to treat the captives well.”
*He also said with reference to Banu Quraizhah’s prisoners, “Let them not be tortured by both the heat of this day and the heat of your weapons.”
*Food and drink should be provided to the prisoners of war: [And feed with food the needy wretch, the orphan and the prisoner] (Al-Insan 76:8).
*The Prophet’s Companions even used to serve the daily meals to captives first before they served themselves.
*The Prophet (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), for example, ransomed some of the captives from the Battle of Badr in exchange for their teaching a group of Muslims how to write.
From the Sunnah:
* In the Battle of Badr, the Muslims captured 70 prisoners of war, of whom only 3 were put to death: Uqba ibn Abi Ma’it, An-Nadr ibn Al-Harith and Tu`aymah ibn `Udday. The Prophet (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) set Abu `Azza Al-Jumahi free after the same battle on the condition that he pledge never to fight Muslims again. However, he breached his pledge on the Day of Uhud and again fell into the hands of the Muslims. The Prophet ordered his execution.
*He also approved of the execution of all of Banu Qurayzhah’s men because they had committed high treason. Although they lived in Madinah and signed a covenant with the Muslims stipulating that they would support them in fighting against any outside enemy, the tribe breached the covenant and joined the enemy forces amidst the heat of the battle.
