Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is every disbeliever who is not a dhimmi (a non-Muslim under Muslim protection), a musta'min (a non-Muslim granted safe conduct), or under a treaty considered warlike, such that disbelievers are divided into four categories?
Answer:
Yes, the one who has no treaty with the Muslims is warlike. The one who has no treaty with the Muslims is warlike. However, it is not permissible to aggress against him, I mean, rather, they are to be fought and engaged in combat under the banner, under the banner of jihad. It is not a matter of trivialities; they are fought under the banner of jihad, after the call to Allah and after they have been called, yes.
