Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who kills a disbeliever who has entered the lands of the Muslims under a guarantee of safety?

Answer:
The ruling is that he is a traitor, a traitor, may Allah protect us from that, and he falls under the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever kills a person under a treaty will not smell the fragrance of Paradise, even though it is forty miles away"
smell the fragrance of Paradise, even though its fragrance may be detected from a distance ofيرح رائحة الجنة، وإن ريحها ليوجد من مسيرة
Sunan Ibn Majah 2686Sahih (Darussalam)
, narrated by al-Bukhari. The musta'min (a non-Muslim granted safe conduct) falls under the category of the mu'ahad (one under a treaty) because he entered under a guarantee of safety, and the Muslims' guarantee is upheld by their ears and tongues; safety is valid from every Muslim, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): "A woman granted safety to a disbeliever, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) granted him safety"
We shelter him whom you have shelteredأجرنا من أجرت يا أم هاني.
Sahih al-Bukhari 6158
