The ruling on one who deems the blood of Muslims lawful and declares them disbelievers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. The questioner says: If the rebels deem the blood of Muslims lawful and declare them disbelievers, do the rulings on fighting disbelievers apply to them?
Answer:
These are not rebels; these are Khawarij. Those who deem the blood of Muslims lawful, saying that the blood of a Muslim is lawful, are disbelievers who are more severe than the Khawarij. For whoever deems something lawful on which there is consensus that it is forbidden is a disbeliever. And there is consensus that killing a Muslim is forbidden. So if he says it is lawful, he is a disbeliever without doubt. Yes.
