May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the criterion for distinguishing between a belligerent disbeliever and a non-belligerent disbeliever?
Answer:
A belligerent disbeliever is one who is not under a treaty. A disbeliever who is not under a treaty, where there is no covenant between us and them, is a belligerent. Those who have a covenant with us are not belligerents; they are non-Muslims granted safe conduct. Yes.
