How?
The questioner:
Who are those whom Muslims are permitted to kill?
The Shaykh:
How so? Who are they? You mean in jihad? It is not permissible to kill anyone except in jihad, jihad in the path of Allah. So it is permissible to kill them, or the aggressor who attacks a person, seeking his life, or his wealth, or his honor. In that case, he may repel him, even by killing him. So killing is not permissible except in jihad or in repelling an aggressor. Among the aggressors are the Khawarij, the rebels, and highway robbers, and all of these are considered aggressors. Yes.
