The Ruling on Killing Prophets and the One Who Kills a Prophet
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Killing prophets, killing prophets,
The Shaykh:
The people are strict regarding the crime of killing a prophet or killing a prophet, whether he is a disbeliever.
The questioner:
And a Muslim.
The Shaykh:
If he is a disbeliever, yes, and the Muslim is a matter, what is in it?
The questioner:
You have seen the Prophet.
The Shaykh:
If he kills him for a legal limit (hadd) or for retaliation (qisas), he is not at fault. A prophet may be killed for a hadd, such as the stoning of Mu'adh, and the stoning of the woman from Ghamid, and the hadd is an expiation. But the one who kills a prophet because of his disbelief, misguidance, and aggression against the prophet becomes a disbeliever.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe.
The Shaykh:
In that case, as for whoever kills him for a legitimate Shari'ah reason, a legitimate Hajj reason, or for retaliation (qisas), there is no ruling [of sin]; if Allah takes him [in death], it is an expiation for him.
