Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: I have heard from you regarding the killing of the aggressor. Why is the aggressor called by this name? I ask for clarification.
Answer:
The aggressor: we said that he is the one who attacks you, seeking your blood, or seeking to take your wealth, or seeking to violate your sacred rights, or even the sacred rights of other Muslims. This is the aggressor. He is repelled by the easiest means possible. If he cannot be repelled except by killing, he is killed, and his blood is worthless. Yes, and this will come, if Allah wills. Its explanation will come. Yes.
