The primary goals of Shariah include the preservation of life, wealth, intellect, lineage, and religion. Since nuclear weapons cause massive destruction, loss of life, and long-term environmental damage, it is essential to assess their use through the lens of these objectives. The paper questions whether the defensive or offensive use of nuclear arms can be justified within the ethical and legal framework of Islamic jurisprudence. Drawing on classical legal principles, contemporary scholarly opinions, and current global realities, the study presents a balanced Islamic perspective on the legitimacy and limitations of using nuclear weapons in warfare.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Dr.Fazail Asrar Ahmed Mamoon Khan Mrs Sadia Rehman Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Islamic Civilization and Culture 2025-04-25 2025-04-25 8 01 1 17
