The presenter:
May Allah greet you, my brothers and sisters. We remind you of the program's number for communication via text messages and WhatsApp only: zero five zero one seven eight five five three six.
The questioner:
With Allah's blessing, we begin this episode with what our brother Abdullah from Riyadh sent. He says: Your Excellency the Shaykh Salih, may Allah bless you, what is the interpretation of the saying of Allah the Mighty and Majestic in Surat al-Isra?[Al-Isra 17:33].
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. In this noble verse, Allah forbids killing the protected soul without right. Because souls are protected. So no one is to be killed except by right. Either by apostasy from his religion.
Or as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 4721Sahih (Darussalam) And that is by being stoned with stones until he dies. And this is establishing the hudud, the hadd of zina upon him.
And the soul for the soul, and this is in qisas (retaliation in kind). So the killer is killed if the wali (guardian) of the murdered one demands qisas, and the conditions for qisas are met, then the killer is killed. To protect the protected souls from being killed without right. And the third.
The one who separates from the community, the one who abandons his religion, the one who separates from the community, and he is the murtadd (apostate), the one who abandons his religion is the murtadd. So the murtadd is given the opportunity to repent, and if he repents, otherwise he is killed. And among the apostates are those who are killed without being given the opportunity to repent, the one who separates from the community. This refers to the baghy (armed rebel), the baghy who rises against the Muslims and against the wali al-amr (the one in authority) of the Muslims and disrupts security. So this one is killed to repel his evil. Yes.

And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right. And whoever is killed unjustly - We have given his heir authority, but let him not exceed limits in [the matter of] taking life. Indeed, he has been supported [by the law].
وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَمَن قُتِلَ مَظْلُومًا فَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا لِوَلِيِّهِ سُلْطَانًا فَلَا يُسْرِف فِّي الْقَتْلِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ مَنصُورًاThe Shaykh:

Or as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
It was narrated from 'Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah said: "It is not permissible to shed the blood of a Muslim except in one of three cases: A soul for a soul, a adulterer who has been married, and one who separates leaving his religion."
لا يحل دم امرئ مسلم إلا بإحدى ثلاث الثيب الزاني،And the soul for the soul, and this is in qisas (retaliation in kind). So the killer is killed if the wali (guardian) of the murdered one demands qisas, and the conditions for qisas are met, then the killer is killed. To protect the protected souls from being killed without right. And the third.
