The ruling on the kidnapping of the Saudi consul in Yemen

Question:
He says: What is your opinion regarding what the kidnapper of the Saudi consul in Yemen did? Is this action permissible or not?

Answer:
If they are people of faith and Muslims, they must fear Allah regarding their brother. It is not permissible for them to do this. First, it harms their brother by exposing him to danger. Second, it is disobedience to the one in authority, the authority of the Muslims, and disobedience to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The diplomats, even if they are disbelievers in the lands of the Muslims, are not killed. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not kill the envoys of the disbelievers or the messengers of the disbelievers; rather, he listened to them and sent them back to their lands without harming them, even though they were disbelievers. So how about a Muslim? He takes him and kidnaps him? He claims to be a Muslim? Is this brotherhood in Islam? Is this brotherhood in religion? This is not of Islam in any way. Yes.
