Guidance on the sanctity of a Muslim's blood and honor, and the types of jihad

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is there any guidance from Your Eminence regarding the sanctity of a Muslim's blood and honor? For crimes of killing have increased, and backbiting, mockery, and ridicule have spread among some people?

Answer:
Jihad is of different types: jihad against the disbelievers in battles and fighting; jihad against the rebels who break the bond of obedience and divide the community; and jihad against the Khawarij who rise up against the rulers of the Muslims.
All of this is jihad in the cause of Allah. This is armed jihad, and there is also unarmed jihad through knowledge, argument, and refuting the doubts of the people of falsehood. Allah the Exalted said:
O Prophet, fight against the disbelievers and the hypocritesيَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ جَاهِدِ الْكُفَّارَ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ
[At-Tawbah 9:73]
The disbelievers are fought with weapons, while the hypocrites are fought with argument and refutation, because they claim Islam and pronounce the two testimonies, but there is no faith in their hearts. So they cause destruction through ideas and plots. Therefore, these people are fought with argument and refutation of their doubts. Yes.
