The questioner:
May Allah guide you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: A disbeliever killed a Muslim, then he entered Islam. Does Islam wipe out what came before it, so that he is not killed for that?
The Shaykh:
What is the man saying?
The questioner:
A disbeliever killed a Muslim and then entered Islam?
The Shaykh:
He killed a Muslim, and where was that? In which country? In a land of disbelief, or in a land of Islam? This falls under the jurisdiction of the judiciary; we have no say in it. Yes.
