Although regarding the use of Nuclear weapons the general rule in Islam does not allow their use as these weapons indiscriminately kill innocent civilians in addition to the destruction of military installations; however, there are two exceptions to this general rule where the use of nuclear weapons is allowed.
Firstly, Islam allows a tit for tat response; therefore the Khilafah reserves the right to respond in case nuclear weapons were used against her.
And secondly, Islam allows pre-emptive strikes in the presence of strong evidences of an impending nuclear attack by the adversary.

The Khilafah has a very comprehensive and highly responsible nuclear doctrine
Seymour Hersh’s disclosure regarding the nuclear assets of Pakistan has exposed the ruler’s treachery with Islam and the Muslims. Both the dictators and democratic rulers have become an extreme security risk for the country. Both brought Pakistan’s nuclear assets under the command of an American special squad as well as mortgaged Pakistan’s sovereignty to secure their rule. The article also highlighted the fact that India and America are not afraid of any dictatorship or some “real democracy”, rather they are only frightened of the return of the Khilafah; and in this context the struggle of Hizb ut-Tahrir for the re-establishment of the Khilafah is the biggest threat. That is precisely the reason why Hizb is banned throughout the Muslim world though it is a non-violent political party.
Seymour Hersh has also exposed his cloven hoof by naming Hizb ut-Tahrir in his article as a threat. Moreover, he has tried to falsely portray the Khilafah as a terrorist state. Whereas the thirteen hundred year history of Khilafah is a testimony to the fact that it was in the Khilafah where Jews, Christians and people of other religions lived in peace and harmony and their rights were protected.
To the contrary, the ill treatment of the Muslims in the democracies of Israel, India, America and France is not a secret anymore. The Khilafah’s nuclear doctrine is based on the clearly defined Ahkam of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and hence is fixed, which no Khaleefah can alter. That is precisely the reason why the Khilafah’s nuclear policy is more comprehensive and responsible than the nuclear policies adopted by the west. We have already witnessed the worst manifestation of the west’s nuclear policy in the form of mass murder in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Islam obliged the Khilafah state to prepare nuclear weapons because Islam has ordered the Muslims to prepare all possible means that would deter and strike fear in the heart of the enemy.
Although regarding the use of Nuclear weapons the general rule in Islam does not allow their use as these weapons indiscriminately kill innocent civilians in addition to the destruction of military installations; however, there are two exceptions to this general rule where the use of nuclear weapons is allowed.
Firstly, Islam allows a tit for tat response; therefore the Khilafah reserves the right to respond in case nuclear weapons were used against her.
And secondly, Islam allows pre-emptive strikes in the presence of strong evidences of an impending nuclear attack by the adversary.
Furthermore, Khilafah believes in nuclear non-proliferation as no other Islamic state can exist in the presence of Khilafah while in no case these weapons will be given to a Kafir state. The imminent return of the Khilafah has panicked America and other Kafir states but they must remember that all their plans are bound to fail with the will of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and the Khilafah will be established as per the prediction and glad tidings of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم.
