Specifying the general statement: "And whoever kills a believer intentionally"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, it is known that the specific (khas) specifies the general (‘amm), as is known from the principles of jurisprudence. Do the evidences of Ibn ‘Abbas regarding killing apply to this rule, making his evidence stronger, like the case of the obligation of prayer?
The Shaykh:
No, rather the opposite, yes, the specific qualifies the general, but the specific is with the people of the Sunnah, with the majority, and His saying, the Exalted,[An-Nisa 4:93] this is general, and it is qualified by His saying, the Exalted, [An-Nisa 4:48] the specific is with the majority, and the general is with Ibn 'Abbas, so the evidence of the majority qualifies the general.

But whoever kills a believer intentionally
وَمَن يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُّتَعَمِّدًاIndeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ
