The Ruling on Killing Non-Muslims Under Treaty and the Effect of Consuming Riba on Disbelief
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the mosques and elsewhere does not permit this, and it is not reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) or the Muslims after him used acting or plays in the mosques. Is it permissible for some non-Muslims in these lands to be killed or assassinated, especially since those who permit this action cite the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Expel the polytheists from the Arabian Peninsula"?
Answer:
If they are under the protection of the authority, or have come under a safe conduct to perform a task and then return, it is not permissible to attack them. Islam is a religion of fidelity, not a religion of treachery and betrayal. Therefore, it is not permissible for us to attack a non-Muslim who is under our treaty and our safe conduct; it is not permissible. A scholar does not say that Islam betrays treaties or breaks covenants. This is not from Islam. "Expel the Jews and the non-Muslims from the Arabian Peninsula"—this is correct, but it does not mean killing those under treaty and those granted safe conduct, or those under our protection. Rather, this refers to the warring non-Muslims between whom and the Muslims there is no treaty or covenant. Yes.
