The covenant, the oath, is the agreement that the one in authority makes with the disbelievers. He concludes a truce with them, and they become those under a covenant. This is the oath, or the safe conduct. If a disbeliever enters the lands of the Muslims with safe conduct from the one in authority or from any of the Muslims, then this safe conduct is also a covenant in
And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah. Then deliver him to his place of safetyوَإِنْ أَحَدٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ اسْتَجَارَكَ فَأَجِرْهُ حَتَّىٰ يَسْمَعَ كَلَامَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ أَبْلِغْهُ مَأْمَنَهُ
[At-Tawbah 9:6]
