Question:
He says: What is the ruling on one who strikes a person in the Haram?
Answer:
This, if it is done through aggression. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: "And do not transgress." It is not permissible to transgress against people in the Haram or anywhere else, but transgressing against people in the Haram is more severe. The Exalted said:[Al-Hajj 22:25] If a person intends to commit injustice, even if he does not carry it out, he sins and is punished with a painful punishment merely for the intention. So what if he carries it out and strikes and kills in the Haram? The matter is more severe.

and [also] whoever intends [a deed] therein of deviation [in religion] or wrongdoing - We will make him taste of a painful punishment.
وَمَن يُرِدْ فِيهِ بِإِلْحَادٍ بِظُلْمٍ نُّذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
