Not imposing the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) on al-Mughirah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner asks: Why did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not impose the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) on al-Mughirah?
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
He did not impose it. Why did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not impose the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) on al-Mughirah, given that he killed the people under treaty and took them?
The Shaykh:
He was a disbeliever. He killed them while he was a polytheist, before he had embraced Islam. Therefore, qisas (retaliation in kind) and the hajj (major pilgrimage) do not apply to him. What a person did in the jahiliyyah (the pre-Islamic age of ignorance) is forgiven if he embraces Islam,, and repentance wipes out what came before it. Yes.
