Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, our Shaykh, and increase you in knowledge and action. Also, among the questions that came in this one says: The Prophet
(ﷺ) say, “He who comes to you when you are united and wants to disunite your community, kill him.”صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ مَنْ أَتَاكُمْ وَأَمَرَكُمْ جَمِيعٌ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُفَرِّقَ جَمَاعَتَكُمْ فَاقْتُلُوهُ.
Bulugh al-Maram 9:40
says: Does this include the one who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, or the one who has a permissible interpretation?

Answer:
No, this does not include everyone who rebels against the ruler with the intention of splitting the unity of obedience, for it is obligatory to kill him in order to preserve the unity of the Muslims and to check those who cause corruption in the land and do not reform. Yes.
