Question:
A questioner says: You mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that the disbeliever is divided into two categories: a disbeliever who prevents [people] from the path of Allah, and a disbeliever who harms only himself, and this one is left alone. Is the second category left alone during the time of fighting?
Answer:
Yes, he is not killed during the time of fighting. The monk in his monastery is not killed, the woman is not killed, and the boy among the disbelievers is not killed; because these people pose no harm to Islam. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
