Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the meaning of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) statement, "I will kill you as 'Ad was killed"? And what is the meaning of declaring a specific person a disbeliever?
Answer:
The meaning of the exhortation is the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) urging to fight them to remove their harm from the Muslims. As for declaring a specific person a disbeliever, this is a matter of scholarly disagreement, because specific conditions must be met and specific impediments must be absent for the declaration of disbelief to apply to him.
