Question:
A questioner asks: What is the indication in the hadithSahih Muslim 23a? It states that his wealth and blood are inviolable, and his account is with Allah. He asks: What is the indication in the hadith that disavowal of the mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) is included in disbelief in taghut?
Answer:
Yes. Taghut is whatever by which a servant exceeds his limit, whether it is an object of worship, a leader, or an obeyed authority; that is taghut. It comes from the word for transgression, which is exceeding the limit.
