Does a Muslim absolutely not kill a disbeliever?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does a Muslim absolutely not kill a disbeliever, or are there cases where a Muslim kills a disbeliever?

Answer:
A Muslim does not guarantee the safety of a disbeliever. It is from the Sunnah that a Muslim does not guarantee the safety of a disbeliever, because there is no equivalence between the victim and the killer, and a disbeliever is not an equal to a Muslim. Therefore, blood money is established for him, and there is no retaliation for him. However, if this is from the aspect of spreading corruption on earth, such as cutting off the road, then the one who cuts off the road is killed, even if the one who killed them was among the non-Muslims granted safe conduct. Yes.
