Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, punished the people of Salih because one of them killed a she-camel, and they were pleased with it. Does this indicate that if a town of the disbelievers kills Muslims and its inhabitants are pleased with it, is it permissible to kill them all?
Answer:
Kill them all? Yes, kill them to repel their evil. Yes, they are killed to repel their evil. As for those among them who do not transgress, it is not permissible to kill them. One who does not transgress among the disbelievers and does not cause harm to the Muslims, it is not permissible to kill him. Only the aggressor and the wrongdoer is killed. Yes.
