Does the Prophet’s statement regarding Ibn Khatal, “Kill him, even though he is clinging to the curtains of the Ka'bah,” imply that one who insults the Messenger of Allah is not offered the opportunity to repent?

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Can the incident of Ibn Khatal, who harmed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and then clung to the curtains of the Ka'bah on the day of the conquest of Makkah, be used as evidence? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Kill him.” Does this mean that one who insults the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is not offered the opportunity to repent?

The Shaykh:
The jurists have stated this explicitly. They stated that if a person’s apostasy is repeated, he is killed and not offered the opportunity to repent. Likewise, one who insults the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), or who insults Allah and the Messenger, is killed and not offered the opportunity to repent. Yes.

The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
And Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah has a standalone book, consisting of three volumes, titled al-Sarim al-Maslul 'ala Shatim al-Rasul (The Drawn Sword against the Insulter of the Messenger) (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
