Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab was informed that a deliberate murderer during the sacred months was in the mosque and did not pray, meaning that he had repented. Is there a disagreement among the scholars regarding retaliation in this case?
Answer:
This returns to the ruling of the judge, because there is disagreement regarding the one who deliberately abandons prayer. The judge's ruling resolves the disagreement. If the judge rules that he is a disbeliever, there is no retaliation; if he does not rule that he is a disbeliever, retaliation is obligatory. Refer to the court regarding this matter. Yes.
