Question:
If some people rule by other than the religion of Allah, and a person is affected by that and kills them, is there a sin on him? What is the ruling? I mean, killing the ruler who rules by other than what Allah has revealed? What is the ruling? If some people rule by other than the religion of Allah, and a man is affected by that and kills them, is there a sin on him?
Answer:
There is a distinction here; there is a distinction here. And looking at what he rules on in general requires consideration. One should not proceed to killing except with clear knowledge. It requires strength, and it must remove falsehood and preserve truth. It must not result in corruption for the Muslims or harm to the Muslims. This requires consideration. Not everyone who displays evil is to be killed immediately, but only after consulting the authorities and considering what will result from this evil. If enjoining good and forbidding evil results in something worse than it and more corrupting, it is not to be forbidden, but rather this is left until a command comes that removes it without resulting in increased harm. Yes.
