Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: One of the students of knowledge reported to you that you issued a ruling in yesterday's lesson on killing one who insults the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), even if he repents, and that there is no repentance for him,
Answer:
The one in authority kills him. What do you mean, you are the one who kills him? The one in authority kills him. The ruler is the one who kills him by the judgment of the Shari'ah court. Is this matter one of chaos? Yes, I did not say this. I did not say that everyone kills him. Yes, but they attribute this to me while I am in dialogue. Glory be to Allah. Yes.
