Killing the Protected Non-Muslims Under the Pretext of Fighting the Disbelievers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Those who carry out explosions claim that the Khawarij were in confrontation with the rulers, but now the bombers are killing Jews and Christians.
Answer:
The ones who are now destroying our houses, shops, and offices—are they Muslims, Jews, or Christians? They are killing Muslims, and they are also killing the protected non-Muslims. We have protected non-Muslims who have a covenant with us, and it is not permissible to kill them in order to fulfill the covenant between them and the Muslims. Is this not fighting the disbelievers? Killing a protected non-Muslim is not fighting the disbelievers; rather, it is a betrayal of Islam and a betrayal of the protection accorded to Muslims.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
